Byron Buxton is on an absolute tear, and the Minnesota Twins finally gave him the support he deserves. In a 7-1 victory over the Toronto Blue Jays, the Twins' star center fielder continued his scorching hot streak, blasting his eighth home run of the season—all of which have come in the last two weeks. It's safe to say Buck has found his swing.

The game started as a classic pitcher's duel, with both Bailey Ober and Kevin Gausman battling through the first three innings. Neither had their sharpest stuff, but the veteran hurlers mixed pitches well enough to keep hitters off balance. Ober deserves special recognition here. His average fastball velocity sits at just 88 MPH—the slowest in the majors by a wide margin compared to the league-average 95.1 MPH for righties. His strikeouts are down and walks are up, yet he keeps delivering quality starts with pure wizardry. We'll take whatever we can get.

The Blue Jays struck first in the fourth inning when Daulton Varsho launched a solo shot off Ober. But for the first time in weeks, the Twins had an answer ready. Trevor Larnach got the offense rolling with the team's first non-Buxton leadoff baserunner, setting the stage for Ryan Jeffers. In what felt like a season-defining at-bat, Jeffers fought off eight tough pitches before crushing a fastball down the heart of the plate for a two-run homer. The Twins led 2-1.

Anyone watching knew a one-run lead wasn't safe—not with the state of the Twins' bullpen these days. But Buxton made sure it didn't matter. His solo blast in the sixth inning extended the lead and sent a clear message: this team is finally finding its rhythm. The lineup delivered the clutch hits they've been missing for two weeks, and for one night at least, the bullpen could breathe easy.
