Big days at the plate from Buxton have been few and far between, but he provided some Independance Day fireworks. He started things off by making a patented Buxton outstanding catch on the very first play of the game.

Mauer and Kepler have been a bit under the radar on a game-by-game basis, but they both had big performances Monday night. Mauer, who hit leadoff with Brian Dozier sitting out, hit a big two-run homer early. Kepler was 4-for-4 with his 10th homer...]]></description><guid isPermaLink="false">5805</guid><pubDate>Tue, 04 Jul 2017 05:44:00 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Game Thread: Twins v Angels, 7/3 @ 7:10pm CT</title><link>https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/game-thread-twins-v-angels-73-710pm-ct-r5803/</link><description>1.
