Puerto Rican Carlos Correa, of the Minnesota Twins, hit a couple of home runs this Wednesday night to reach seven “home runs” in the 2022 Major League Baseball (MLB) season.
The 27-year-old star shortstop began his display of power in the first inning against Triston McKenzie, the now-Cleveland Guardians starter.
According to Baseball Savant, the Puerto Rican's connection posted an exit speed of 106.3 miles per hour and traveled 437 feet at Target Field.

In the month of June, the native of Ponce, Puerto Rico, bats .326, with three doubles, two home runs (those tonight) and five RBIs.
After going through the disabled list and Covid-19, Correa's offensive rebound represents great news for the Minnesota Twins.
Despite the extraordinary day of the Puerto Rican, the Guardians ended up taking the challenge (11 to 10) to maintain the bid for the Central Division of the American League.
