[FONT="]USA TODAY Sports' Bob Nightengale breaks down the MLB trade market before the deadline.
[FONT="]USA TODAY[/FONT]
[FONT="]The Minnesota Twins have slugged their way to the best record in the major leagues.
[/FONT]
[FONT="]Yes, you read that correctly. "Twins," "slugging" and "best record" is a rare combination, but with home runs being hit at a record-breaking clip this season, they're the ones setting the pace.
[/FONT]
[FONT="]The Twins (33-16) hit eight home runs in Thursday's 16-7 demolition of the Los Angeles Angels, with second baseman Jonathan Schoop and third baseman Miguel Sano leading the way with two apiece.
[/FONT]
[FONT="]And they didn't just hit those homers, they crushed them. Schoop's 467-foot blast in the second inning was one of seven Twins home runs of at least 400 feet.

[FONT="]Thursday's outburst tied the franchise's single-game record and marked the fourth time this season that Minnesota has hit at least six homers in one game. All the other teams in the majors have done it a total of three times.
[/FONT]
[FONT="]What's especially notable about this team is that Minnesota hasn't been a power-hitting team for a very long time. According to Aaron Gleeman of Baseball Prospectus, the Twins have been out-homered by their opponents in 26 of the last 27 seasons.
[/FONT]
[FONT="]But with an emphasis on analytics championed by chief baseball officer Derek Falvey, general manager Thad Levine and first-year manager Rocco Baldelli, the Twins have joined the fly-ball revolution that has become common throughout the majors and are swinging for the fences.

[FONT="]Six different players - led by left fielder Eddie Rosario with 14 - have at least nine homers this season.
[/FONT]
[FONT="]The resulting power-hitting explosion has the Twins leading the majors with 98 home runs in their first 49 games. At that pace, they'd finish with 324, which would shatter the single-season record of 267 set a year ago by the New York Yankees.
