Kirby Puckett won the All-Star MVP award on July 13 and St. Paul native Dave Winfield got his 3,000th hit over the course of the year.
He had a serviceable year as the team's primary designated hitter, hitting .271 with 21 home runs and 76 RBI.
Other offensive highlights included Kent Hrbek becoming the second Twin (along with Harmon Killebrew) to reach 1,000 RBI and Brian Harper becoming only the fourth catcher in the prior 40 years to hit .300 in three consecutive seasons.
Chuck Knoblauch continued his solid leadoff hitting, batting .277 and stealing a team-leading 29 bases.
The starting rotation was reasonably competent, with Kevin Tapani, Willie Banks, and Jim Deshaies having ERAs in the low fours.
