Twins prospect Brandon Winokur hits 3 homers at Single-A Fort Myers

Minnesota Twins prospect Brandon Winokur had his first multi-homer game as a professional on Friday night and he made sure it was one to remember.

The outfielder socked three home runs in a 12-2 win over the Lakeland Tigers, adding another accolade to what has been a successful year for the Twins' 2023 third-round pick.

Winokur's first home run came in the bottom of the first inning when his two-run homer landed on the concourse in left field to give Fort Myers a 2-0 lead. Winokur hit another two-run homer off the batter's eye in center field in the fifth inning before launching a solo home run for his third blast of the game in the eighth inning.

Winokur finished 3-for-5 with the three homers in the game while Twins first-round pick Kaelen Culpepper also went 3-for-5 with three RBI.

Coming out of Edison High School in Huntington Beach, Calif., Winokur is hitting .249/.336/.431 with 12 homers, 45 RBI and 18 stolen bases in his first full professional season with the Mighty Mussels.
