Buxton hit his first homer to leadoff the game off Nick Martinez, and the 31-year-old took Martinez deep again an inning later. He’s up to 15 homers in 2025, and he’s gone deep in three consecutive contests. When Buxton is healthy, there are few players who match the talent. The question is not if he can keep this up, but if he can be on the field enough to do so. It’s a lot of fun to watch him right now, regardless.

Clemens hit one of four homers for the Twins on the day with a two-run shot off Nick Martinez. The 29-year-old has swatted seven homers on the season, and he’s slugging a solid .496 for his trouble. Unfortunately, that slugging mark has come with a .219 average, but hey, dingers.

Jeffers doubled in a pair off a wholly ineffective Nick Martinez, and then whalloped a two-run shot off Taylor Rogers that traveled an estimated 448 feet. He’s now homered five times in 2024 with a respectable slash of .255/.352/.400 over 199 at-bats. You can do worse, you can do better.

Paddack was handed nine runs of support so the victory was never really in question, but it’s fair to say he didn’t pitch well. He surrendered six hits — one of those a homer by Gavin Lux — and he struck out three while throwing 51-of-82 pitches for strikes. It’s definitely an improvement on his disaster Friday against the Astros where he gave up a nine-spot in four innings, but it’s a decent distance away from effective. He’ll try and get back on track Tuesday against the Mariners at home.

Crow-Armstrong took Brewers ace Freddy Peralta deep in the opening frame for his 20th round-tripper of the year to become the first member of the 20-homer, 20-steal club this season. The 23-year-old breakout sensation has slowed down slightly bit in recent weeks, but he’s still hitting .275 (33-for-120) with nine big flies and 10 steals over his last 30 games. He’s the real deal.

For the first time all season, Grisham had a sub-.800 OPS at the conclusion of Wednesday’s game. He’s back over that mark now, though, having collected his first homer since May 30 and his second since May 12. He’s likely in store for less playing time now that the Yankees have Giancarlo Stanton back, but the team will still want his glove in center field rather frequently.

The bad news is Straw will be out for another game after being removed Tuesday with his ankle injury. The good news is that Blue Jays manager John Schneider told reporters that Straw’s injury isn’t likely to necessitate a trip to the injured list. He’ll take a seat with Jonatan Clase (knee) back in the lineup in center and Alan Roden playing left field.
