Twins' Ryan Jeffers: Does damage early

Jeffers went 2-for-3 with a home run, a walk and three RBI in Sunday's 6-5 extra-inning loss to the Rangers.

Jeffers made an impact early in the contest, hitting a two-run homer in the first inning and an RBI single in the third. The catcher has hit safely in five of his last six games, going 6-for-20 (.300) with three homers and five RBI in that span. That constitutes a warm spell for Jeffers, and it's come at a good time, as fellow catcher Christian Vazquez entered Sunday on an eight-game hitting streak before snapping it with a strikeout as a pinch hitter. The Twins continue to evenly split the playing time for their catchers. Jeffers has offered more power with 19 homers, 18 doubles and a .464 slugging percentage while batting .231 with 57 RBI, 45 runs scored and three stolen bases over 94 contests this season.
