One of the Twins' beat writers - forget who it was - theorized that Buxton's struggles at the plate were a result of his mechanics getting messed up after the various knee injuries. I don't necessarily think it is mechanics. I think he's in love with the HR ball and just pulls everything.
Yup. Thought Martin's catch in the 8th and getting runner at third in the 10th meant the baseball gods were going to smile down on the Twins. But alas...
