Twins' Byron Buxton: Goes yard in return to lineup

Buxton went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 10-4 loss to the Tigers.

Back in the lineup after a two-game absence due to a shoulder bruise, Buxton was in his usual spot in center field and as the leadoff hitter, and he demonstrated he was healthy by crushing the first pitch he saw from Troy Melton over the fence in left-center field. It was Buxton's 19th homer of the season in 56 games, and he's slashing .255/.316/.554 with five steals, 29 RBI and 42 runs.
