Buxton homers twice, Joe Ryan tosses first shutout as Twins beat Red Sox 6-0

Byron Buxton is back, Joe Ryan tossed a shutout and the Minnesota Twins ended a 10-game home stand 5-5 after a 6-0 win over the Boston Red Sox in front of 28,553 fans on Thursday at Target Field.

She sat on his lap, but not for long as toddlers are known to lack patience. He tried to get her to say hi to the media contingent before getting a kiss on the face. She then spent most of the rest of the session playing with nine baseballs, representing Ryan’s nine strikeouts on the day.

It was recently revealed that Baldelli and his wife have siblings on the way for their first daughter. That’s right, plural. They are expecting twins, due in September, hopefully right around the time they finish off a division title and get ready for the playoffs.
