The Minnesota Twins broke the major league record by hitting their 268th home run of the 2019 season.

The Twins hit six home runs in Saturday night's 10-7 loss to the Detroit Tigers at Comerica Park. Mitch Garver, Max Kepler, Jorge Polanco, C.J. Cron and Nelson Cruz all hit home runs, with Cruz's 450-foot blast to center in the top of the eighth inning tying the record. Garver hit the record-setting homer in the top of the ninth, his second of the game.

The New York Yankees had set the record last season when they hit 267 home runs.

Polanco's home run was his 20th of the season, setting another record for the Twins. Minnesota now has eight players with 20-plus home runs this season, the most by any team in major league history. The Twins also matched the 2000 Houston Astros' MLB record of five games with six or more home runs in a season.

Saturday's game marked Minnesota's 11th this season with five or more home runs, extending their major league record, but it's the first time in franchise history the Twins have loss such a game. They had been 49-0 in such games entering Saturday.
