Carlos Correa broke the tie with a monster home run against the New York Yankees, giving the Minnesota Twins the lead in the eighth inning. Correa has been excellent when healthy this season, though this is only his eighteenth home run of the season. With a batting average of .276, he has been an offensive threat, even if he isn't hitting dingers.
Talkin' Baseball posted a clip of the home run to Twitter.

There was some surprise when Correa signed with the Twins in the offseason instead of a more playoff-ready team. Some reported that Correa and the New York Yankees had an interest in uniting for the 2022 season. As much as New York Yankees fans would hate to admit, that pairing would have worked out well.
His time with the Minnesota Twins has been fruitful, however, as he has the team poised to take a playoff spot. The highlight package on YouTube exemplifies how good Carlos Correa has been this season.
