Two more homers Thursday
Buxton went 2-for-4 with a pair of home runs and four total RBI in Thursday's 4-0 win over the Rangers.
Analyse
Buxton was responsible for all of the offense in Thursday's contest. He led off the game with a solo shot off Tyler Mahle before extending Minnesota's lead with a three-run, 437-foot blast off Chris Martin in the eighth. Buxton has now gone deep three times in his last two games -- he'd gone just 7-for-45 (.156) with no homers and one RBI in his previous 11 contests. Buxton has been one of the Twins' few bright spots overall this season -- he's slashing .265/.328/.551 with a career-best 34 homers, 82 RBI, 96 runs scored and 24 stolen bases across 533 plate appearances.

Belts 32nd homer in loss
Buxton went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 4-2 loss to Texas.
Analyse
Buxton clobbered his 32nd homer of the season and his third of the month. While 2025 will go down as a lost year for the Twins, it was anything but a failure for Buxton, who has just about paid off for fantasy managers who took a late-round gamble on the oft-injured outfielder in drafts this past spring. Buxton is up to 123 games played, his most since 2017, and he's collected a career-high in long balls, RBI (78), walks (41) and runs scored (94).
