McCann went 1-for-4 with a three-run homer in Tuesday's win over the Twins.

With Victor Martinez (knee) out, McCann made his first career start as a designated hitter, and swung like it. After striking out and fouling out in his first two at-bats, McCann chased Twins' starter Hector Santiago from the game by pouncing on a hanging sinker for a tape-measure three-run homer to the second deck in left, projected by Statcast at 439 feet. The blast was the catcher's 12th of the season, and his first since Aug. 25, also against the Twins. Overall, McCann's .222/.274/.366 slash line is a disappointing drop off from last season's .264/.297/.387.
