Third homer in two games Kirilloff went 1-for-4 with a solo home run and three strike outs as Minnesota fell 11-3 to Kansas City.

Impact Kirilloff followed up last night's two-homer performance with a solo shot in the seventh to get Minnesota on the board. The former top prospect played first and may receive more time there with Miguel Sano on the IL.

Breaks out with four RBI Kirilloff went 2-for-4 with two home runs, a walk and four RBI in Friday's 9-1 win over Kansas City.

Impact Kirilloff made some major noise for the first time since his April 23 call-up. The 23-year-old launched his first two major-league homers, the first being a three-run blast in the third and his second just a solo shot in the fifth. He became the first Twins player to hit his first two career home runs in the same game since Pat Meares in 1994. Kiriloff started out just 3-for-26 with an RBI, a run scored and a 0:6 BB:K over his first eight games, so it was encouraging to see him finally living up to the hype as the organization's top prospect.
