Buxton's Hot Streak and Santana's Call Up

Byron Buxton continues to hit a hot bat. Like I said in my lastest blog, Buxton went 3 for 4 on Wednesday night's game against Daytona. Buxton carried his performance from Wednesday night into Thursday night against Daytona again. Thursday night Byron Buxton went 2 for 5 with a home run and a single. His home run came in the top of the ninth inning as a solo shot. The team would later win that game 7 to 5 with a save coming from Tyler Jones. It's nice to see Byron Buxton doing well after all of that time off with the injuries.

Infielder and outfielder Danny Santana was playing with the Fort Myers Miracle last night as well. Santana has been dealing with a bone bruise on his left knee. Luckily the All Star break came up and he only missed a few games. Santana went 0 for 4 last night with the Miracle but did have a walk and a stolen base. That shouldn't worry the Twins much due to his stats in the big leagues. Santana has been hitting .328 in 134 at bats with 2 home runs and 16 RBI's along with 6 stolen bases. Welcome back Danny Santana and hopefully his defense and offense can contribute to a second half turn around for the Minnesota Twins.
