Rocco Baldelli had no shortage of words when he described just how incredible Byron Buxton's night was in the Twins' win over the Rangers.

The Twins have lost their second starting pitcher to a prolonged IL stint with a shoulder strain. Zebby Matthws's problem is different than Pablo López's, but expect him to be gone for a while.

Byron Buxton is one of the most talented players in baseball when healthy, combining an impressive mix of power and speed. Both were on display on Wednesday night at Target Field as the Minnesota Twins defeated the Texans Rangers, 6-2.

It remains to be seen where the Minnesota Twins will turn for their next starting pitcher, if Simeon Woods Richardson and David Festa continue to struggle. The bullpen got a new arm today, claiming former first round pick Joey Wentz off waivers from Pittsburgh.

Could the Twins make a trade splash by tapping into their outfield depth? It's been a possibility for years, but not (yet) one on which they've seized.

The busted balk: Rangers center fielder Evan Carter reached base on a full-count walk with one out in the top of the fourth inning and took a lead. Twins right-hander David Festa spun to first base and caught Carter in a rundown for the inning’s second out.
