MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — The Minnesota Twins are no stranger to unique home-run celebrations. They introduced a fishing vest and toy fishing pole to the dugout last season. This year, a summer sausage has become the object of their affection. Hitting coach David Popkins brought it into the dugout last week and beckoned his players to tap it before their at-bats. The Twins followed with a flurry of big hits. They took the cured meat with them on the road and have since stretched their win streak to 11 games after the sausage returned home safely.
