MINNEAPOLIS -- Byron Buxton was right back at it with a tape-measure blast and a five-star diving catch, but the Twins’ stretched-thin bullpen couldn’t make his heroics hold up.
While Minnesota’s offense has found a bit of a stride following a difficult start, the Twins are still in search of consistency among their high-leverage bullpen options -- a fact that reared its head once again on Tuesday night. After Taylor Rogers allowed a pair of runs in the ninth to draw the Rangers even, Minnesota had to turn to the inexperienced Brandon Waddell for extra innings, leading to a 6-3 loss in 10 innings at Target Field.
