Byron Buxton Homers For Third Straight Game
4 years agoMinnesota Twins outfielder Byron Buxton went 2-for-4 with a home run and four RBI against the Royals on Saturday. Buxton has now homered in three straight games- the first time he's ever done that in his career. It's early on, but Buxton has career-highs in average exit velocity, barrel percentage and launch angle thus far. While he's not going to hit a home run every game, it's certainly possible that he could eclipse last year's 10 home runs, even in a shortened season. Needless to say, Buxton is a must-start right now.
