- On Saturday, June 20, Byron Buxton hit his 24th home run—a grand slam—in the Minnesota Twins' 10-run fifth inning at Chase Field, giving the Twins a 12-0 lead.
- Arizona Diamondbacks starter Zac Gallen surrendered two runs in the first and four more in the fourth, setting the stage for the Twins' offensive explosion in the fifth.
