5-Hit Blitz by Acret Friday, August 7th , 2026 Willem Acret put on a hitting clinic as the Minnesota Twins dumped the Kansas City Royals, 13-12, at Target Field. The Minnesota left fielder made Kansas City defenders earn their pay, lashing Kansas City pitching for 5 hits in 5 at-bats in the game. He told BNN reporters after the game that his strategy was "just hit it where they pitched it." "Too often I try too hard to pull the ball," Acret said in his postgame press conference. "Today, I just went with the pitch." Willem Acret singled in the 2nd, singled in the 4th, singled in the 5th, hit an RBI single in the 6th and singled in the 8th. This season, Acret has banged out 145 hits in 413 at-bats for a .351 average with 11 home runs. He is getting on base at a .404 pace and his totals also include 62 RBIs and 76 runs scored.
