Escobar finished Monday's opener against the Orioles with a pair of doubles and an RBI in four at-bats.
The shortstop showed a little bit of pop last year for Minnesota and managed to do the same today. Escobar actually improved his power stroke after the All-Star break in 2015, mashing eight of his 12 homers and 19 of his 31 doubles after the Midseason Classic. For now, he's hitting seventh in the Twins' order.
