Brian Dozier hits 40th home run of the season in Twins' loss Monday

Minnesota Twins second baseman Brian Dozier blasted his 40th home run of the season as the Twins fell 4-2 to the Detroit Tigers on Monday.

What It Means:

Dozier becomes only the second player in the majors with 40 home runs this year, joining Baltimore Orioles left fielder Mark Trumbo.

Dozier is having a huge year from the dish, slashing .277/.348/.574 with a .383 wOBA and .297 ISO, all of which are career-bests.
