There are no major league teams that look good when they are not scoring runs, but the Twins’ 7-2 loss to the Washington Nationals on Sunday felt like much more than one dispiriting game. The Twins dropped all three series out of the All-Star break.
Buxton came into Saturday with a career regular season slash line of .249/.309/.486 with 156 homers and 412 RBIs over 856 games. The Twins selected him with the second pick in the 2012 MLB Draft, and he made the All-Star team in 2022 and 2025. He also won Gold and Platinum Glove Awards in 2017.
