The Twins' biggest strength is their power production. Minnesota has hit 96 home runs this season, substantially more than Arizona. The club has also scored more runs and owns a higher slugging percentage, giving it the ability to change a game quickly with extra-base hits.
Arizona Continues Strong Play at Home
The Diamondbacks enter Sunday's matchup with a 39-36 overall record and an excellent 24-15 mark at home. Arizona has won four of its last five games and comes into this contest after a 9-5 victory over Minnesota. The Diamondbacks also recently defeated the Angels by scores of 8-1 and 4-3 while earning a 5-3 victory over Cincinnati. Their only loss during this stretch came against Los Angeles.
Arizona has posted a .239 batting average with 321 runs scored, 594 hits, and 67 home runs this season. The Diamondbacks own a .308 on-base percentage and a .386 slugging percentage.

The strongest part of Arizona's profile is its pitching efficiency. The Diamondbacks hold advantages in ERA, WHIP, opponent batting average, and walks allowed. Those numbers have helped support one of the better home records among the teams in this matchup.
