Byron Buxton Blasts Off in Twins' Rout of D-backs
by Chase Davis | Twins Correspondent | Fri, Jun 28th 8:48am EDT
Byron Buxton shined as the Twins toppled the Diamondbacks 13-6.
Fantasy Impact:
He went 3-for-4 with a home run, three runs scored, and three RBI. This performance is a bright spot in what has been a somewhat average season for Buxton, lifting his batting average to .261 and his RBI total to 30. His power numbers are respectable, with seven homers now on the year, but his high strikeout rate (28%) continues to be a concern. Fantasy managers should be encouraged by games like this, but also wary of his inconsistency at the plate. Buxton remains a high-risk, high-reward option in fantasy leagues, particularly valuable in formats that reward power and runs scored.
