Buxton’s 2nd HR, 469-foot shot, lifts Twins over Sox 6-4
Byron Buxton hit his second homer of the game, a 469-foot, three-run drive that overcame a 10th-inning deficit and lifted the Minnesota Twins over Chicago 6-4 and sent the White Sox to their seventh straight loss.
Buxton hit a two-run, opposite-field homer to right in the seventh against Aaron Bummer that tied the score 3-3.
After Yasmani Grandal’s RBI single in the 10th off Joe Smith (1-0), Liam Hendriks (0-2) walked José Godoy with one out in the bottom half and Buxton drove a fastball into the left-field second deck for the longest game-ending home run since MLB Statcast starting tracking in 2015.
