Buxton Belts Two, Ober Shines as Twins Take Series Finale 4-0

Out of contention, both teams used the finale to gauge late-season form.

Overview

  • Byron Buxton opened with his 10th leadoff homer of the season and later added a three-run blast, driving in all four runs.
  • Bailey Ober tossed six scoreless innings with two hits and five strikeouts, facing one batter over the minimum in a bounce-back start.
  • Texas managed three hits and has lost nine of its past 10 games as its late-season slide continued.
  • Tyler Mahle yielded his first home homer of the year on the first pitch to Buxton, then completed five innings to finish with a 0.84 home ERA.
  • The result followed Texas’ 4-2 win the previous day, when same-day call-up Billy McKinney delivered the go-ahead RBI and Jacob deGrom made his 30th and final start of 2025.
