Buxton Powers Twins Past Marlins, 8-3
by Jesse Garcia | Twins Correspondent | Thu, Sep 26th 6:38am EDT
Byron Buxton played a key role in the Twins' 8-3 victory over the Marlins, delivering a solid performance as the designated hitter.
Fantasy Impact:
Buxton went 2-for-4 with a home run, one run scored, and one RBI. This outing is a bright spot in what has been a fairly consistent season for Buxton, who now boasts a .279 batting average with 18 homers and 55 RBI through 100 games. His power numbers are robust, and his wOBA of .365 indicates he's creating runs at a well-above-average clip, which is always a boon for fantasy managers. While his strikeout rate remains high, his impact in power and run production categories should keep him relevant in most fantasy formats.
