Hits game-clutching home run
Buxton went 2-for-4 with a three-run home run and a stolen base in Wednesday's 6-4 win versus the Tigers.
Analyse
Buxton's moon shot to center in the fifth to give Minnesota a 4-1 lead, which it would not relinquish. The Silver Slugger hit his 20th homer of the season, which makes him third person in Twins history to hit 20 homers through 69 games. The righty returned yesterday to center field after colliding with the wall on June 5 and has now homered in back-to-back games.

Goes yard in return to lineup
Buxton went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 10-4 loss to the Tigers.
Analyse
Back in the lineup after a two-game absence due to a shoulder bruise, Buxton was in his usual spot in center field and as the leadoff hitter, and he demonstrated he was healthy by crushing the first pitch he saw from Troy Melton over the fence in left-center field. It was Buxton's 19th homer of the season in 56 games, and he's slashing .255/.316/.554 with five steals, 29 RBI and 42 runs.

Launches 18th homer in loss
Buxton went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and a walk in Thursday's 8-6 loss to Kansas City.
Analyse
Buxton wasted no time getting Minnesota on the board, leading off the bottom of the first inning with a 430-foot solo homer off Seth Lugo to tie the game. The blast was his 18th of the season, as he sits at the fourth-most long balls in MLB. The veteran outfielder also added a second hit and a walk as he continues to be productive following his recent return from hip issues. Since rejoining the lineup, Buxton is batting 14-for-56 (.250) with three homers across 14 games.
