Byron Buxton’s RBI double in 11th inning gives Twins a 2-1 victory over Guardians

Byron Buxton’s double in the 11th inning led the Minnesota Twins to a 2-1 victory over the Cleveland Guardians, scoring Matt Wallner, the automatic runner. Buxton also hit a leadoff homer, marking his 22nd career leadoff home run. Both teams managed only two hits each. The Guardians had opportunities to score in the ninth and 10th innings but were unable to capitalize, thanks to Eric Orze’s effective pitching. Luis García secured the win with his first save. Cleveland’s Peyton Pallette allowed one unearned run, ending the Guardians’ three-game winning streak. Buxton’s recent performance includes 13 home runs in 23 games, trailing MLB leaders Aaron Judge and Munetaka Murakami. The game was delayed due to thunderstorms, and Cleveland’s José Ramírez tied the game in the fourth inning. The series concludes with a matchup between Gavin Williams and Andrew Morris.
