CHICAGO -- The Minnesota Twins broke a major league record for most home runs on the road, getting back-to-back homers in the third inning Thursday for 140.

Jake Cave led off the third with a solo shot off Chicago White Sox right-hander Dylan Cease to give the AL Central leaders the record. That surpassed the 138 set by the San Francisco Giants in 2001.

C.J. Cron followed with a drive to center to give Minnesota 140 long balls on the road.

Cave homered again in the seventh inning with another solo blast to right field off of Hector Santiago.

The Twins have a major league-leading 261 home runs overall this season.
