How about 12 more runs in the second game with two innings left to
play.

Have the Twins ever scored this many runs in one day before?

I had the radio with the game going in the background at work
yesterday and was talking to a customer on the phone who asked, "what
game is that? Aren't all games on Friday's usually night games?" While
I was explaining about the make-up game being the front end of a
double-header I heard snippets of John Gordon saying "that's
it.....Twins 18, White Sox 8." I figured the game was over. I had to
go and pick up my son from a friend's house a little while later and
was shocked to hear a game being broadcast on the radio and figured it
was highlights from the just completed 18-8 game. Boy was I surprised
when I learned the game was still going and it was 20-10!

I don't think so. There was nothing in the paper about it being a
record though.

This just in....

It was the most runs scored by one team in a doubleheader since the
Boston Red Sox totaled 35 in a sweep of the Philadelphia Athletics on
July 4, 1939, according to the Elias Sports Bureau.

So, I'd say that it set a Twins record for most runs scored in one day.

John Gordon said last night that yesterday's numbers will not be
compared to other double-headers because technically, yesterday was
not a double-header. To be a double header, there has to be just one
gate--that is, one ticket gets you into both games. Both he and Dan
Gladden seemed surprised that the way the ticket office is run could
actually make a difference in the statistics of the game, but Gordo
said this is from Elias Sports Bureau. Crazy.
