The last person I think everyone expected to end the Cleveland Guardians' home run drought was Steven Kwan. But hey, Kwan is a magical player, and a home run is a home run!

The Guardians finally got some runs from the offense which led them to a massive win over the Minnesota Twins. But this wouldn't have happened without Kwan's seventh-inning home run.

Carlos Correa tied up the game at three just the frame before giving every fan a worry with Cleveland's inability to score runs over the last month. But Kwan had a different idea in mind and blasted this homer:

This was more than just another home run. It sparked energy in the dugout we haven't seen in a while. Josh Naylor was especially pumped! 

Kwan talked about this meant to the team after the game saying:

"Nice little spark. It definitely feels good in the dugout, especially when the younger guys are kind of having those really good outings. It feels good to not waste those good starts and come out with a win."

Listen To What Else Kwan Had To Say After The Game:

It takes just a spark to light a fire so hopefully, the team can build on this momentum during the series finale on Sunday.
