MINNEAPOLIS -- For two months, Minnesota Twins second baseman Brian Dozier has been among the hottest hitters in baseball.
Dozier was at it again on Saturday night, cranking his 25th homer of the season -- and 100th of his major league career -- in a 5-3 victory over the Kansas City Royals.
Each team will go for the series win on Sunday, although finding a way to slow down the red-hot Dozier might prove difficult for the defending World Series champions.
Dozier's 18 home runs since June 19 are the most in baseball, and the fifth-year player is suddenly on track for career highs in nearly every major offensive category.
"I think everything, for a while now, has just been feeling good and clicking on all cylinders," Dozier said. "Everything feels really comfortable. Hitting is never easy, but the more you simplify it, it makes it a lot easier."
Besides home runs, Dozier has hit safely in 21 of his last 22 games and has an extra-base hit in five straight.
"Dozier's just been incredible for us," Twins manager Paul Molitor said. "It's been fun to watch."
