Overview
- Buxton became the first player to hit for the cycle at Target Field since its 2010 opening.
- He is the 12th player in Twins history to achieve a cycle and the first since Jorge Polanco in 2019.
- Buxton opened his sequence with a second-inning triple, added a ground-rule double in the third and sealed the cycle with a 427-foot solo homer off Andrew Heaney in the seventh.
- Target Field erupted as Buxton completed the feat on his bobblehead giveaway day, and he received a standing-ovation curtain call before exiting in the eighth.
- The milestone caps a 5-for-5 outing and comes just days before his scheduled Home Run Derby appearance, highlighting his resurgence after past injuries.
