Rocco Baldelli had no shortage of words when he described just how incredible Byron Buxton's night was in the Twins' win over the Rangers.

Could the Twins make a trade splash by tapping into their outfield depth? It's been a possibility for years, but not (yet) one on which they've seized.

Byron Buxton hit a 479-foot home run and turned a pending two-run double into an out, and that’s only the remarkable stuff.

Byron Buxton launched a 479-foot home run, the second-longest in the majors this season, to power the Minnesota Twins past the Texas Rangers 6-2.

The Twins have lost their second starting pitcher to a prolonged IL stint with a shoulder strain. Zebby Matthws's problem is different than Pablo López's, but expect him to be gone for a while.

It remains to be seen where the Minnesota Twins will turn for their next starting pitcher, if Simeon Woods Richardson and David Festa continue to struggle. The bullpen got a new arm today, claiming former first round pick Joey Wentz off waivers from Pittsburgh.

Byron Buxton's 479-foot home run finally stopped traveling. The Minnesota Twins hope to keep going, though. They will take on the Texas Rangers in the decisive contest of a three-game series Thursday afternoon in Minneapolis.

With two men on and a 2-2 count, Buxton was offered a 90 mph slider by Texas Rangers starter Jack Leiter on the outside edge of the plate. Buxton turned on it and launched the ball deep over the left-centerfield wall. Broadcast cameras lost track of it as it landed in the stands high above the outfield bullpen.

After a complete obliteration of the team last night, the Twins took the field in hopes of a redemption game Wednesday. Their superstar put them on his back.
