  • 2002 - The Minnesota Twins score 10 runs in the seventh inning to close out the scoring in a 23–2 win over the Cleveland Indians, the most runs in franchise history. Minnesota also gets a franchise–record 25 hits (they hit 24 five times as the Washington Senators) and tie the AL record as four players have four or more hits. They are the fifth team to do it. On the flip side, the Indians tie their team record for the biggest loss, tying the mark set in a 21–0 loss to the Detroit Tigers on September 15,1901. Cleveland also becomes the first team since the 1969 San Diego Padres to lose two games in the same season by 19 or more runs.

Lee May (NL, [1969), Frank Thomas (NL, 1962) and Gus Zernial (AL, 1951) were the others. At the same time, DaVanon also becomes the third player to do it from both sides of the plate in two back-to-back contests, matching Ken Caminiti (NL, 1995) and Eddie Murray (AL, 1987).
