Byron Buxton Hits Pair Of Homers
4 months agoMinnesota Twins outfielder Byron Buxton went 2-for-4 with a pair of homers and three RBI in a 5-3 loss to the Cleveland Guardians. Buxton hit his 15th homer in the second inning and then knocked his 16th in the eighth. The 30-year-old has been terrific since late June and has managed to stay on the field for most of the year, something he hasn't been able to do much in his career. When he is playing, though, he's a terrific power hitter who can chip in some steals and sometimes manage a decent average. He should be rostered universally at this point but he is still available in some leagues. Be sure to check the waiver wire and make sure he isn't hanging around.
