Byron Buxton

Minnesota Twins star Byron Buxton is going to require season ending surgery for his ongoing knee issues.

The game turned in the fourth inning when Giancarlo Stanton and Byron Buxton delivered back-to-back home runs.

A 4-run 10th inning went Minnesota's way in the opening game of the Chicago White Sox series on Monday as the Twins escaped a 7th inning tie ballgame.

Getting two of their players back off the IL gave the Minnesota Twins that extra spark to salvage game-2.

One of those star players has been on a tear this year, as Byron Buxton has been mashing at the plate and playing his customary gold glove caliber defense in the field.

Two run home run by Byron Buxton gives Minnesota the juice they needed to go nine solid innings and sweep Texas.
