102.3 MPH on the radar gun from Duran against Garcia for his second-to-last pitch.

Byron Buxton will not get his opportunity to complete the cycle, but he still has a great day at the plate going 3-for-3 with a walk, and the go-ahead 3-run home run that gave the #MNTwins the lead in this game they have yet to relinquish.

Who would have thought #MNTwins fans would have been treated to back-to-back outings of old friend Caleb Boushley coming into this series? Certainly not me. Boushley has the 8th for the Rangers, who trail 6-2.

Brock Stewart is coming in to pitch the 7th for the #MNTwins Festa's final line 6 IP, 3 H, 2 ER, 2 BB, 4 K, 86 pitches, 51 strikes. Impressive turnaround from his last outing in Sacramento.

Byron Buxton is a triple away from the cycle.

The #MNTwins ' three runs in the 5th gave Festa one more inning of work, and he faced the minimum in the sixth. He's at 86 pitches right now, and no one is throwing in the Twins' pen. He may get to start the 7th as he sits at 86 pitches through 6 IP.

Correa keeps things rolling for the #MNTwins in the fifth as he hits a ground-rule double to score Castro and extend their lead to 6-2.

#MNTwins make up a couple more runs to extend their lead 5-2 over the Rangers, thanks to a Willi Castro triple to center field.

Ty France's two-out single advances his on-base streak to 22 games.

Well, that was something. Crew chief Lance Barksdale comes back from the replay review decision on Buxton's attempt to score at home and originally motions that the call was overturned and Buxton was safe, then catches his mistake and correctly says the call stands.

With Jack Leiter out of the game for the Rangers, they turn to lefty Jacob Latz. Ryan Jeffers comes off the bench for the #MNTwins to pinch hit for Trevor Larnach, who was DHing to start tonight.

Only Mike Trout has hit a home run further than this 479 ft homer from Buxton, and that traveled just five feet further at 484 ft at Angel Stadium on April 19 https://t.co/JIrhMyUAGY

First a Superman catch, then a Superman swing from Byron Buxton, and just like that, the #MNTwins are up 3-2 over the Rangers.

Brooks Lee gets a lead-off double in the bottom of the third and extends his hitting streak to 11 games, which is a career high and the longest of any #MNTwins hitter this year (so far).

What a catch by Byron Buxton to keep any more runs scored against David Festa in the top of the third. Rangers are now up 2-0 thanks to back-to-back doubles from Jonah Heim and Josh Smith.

#MNTwins waste a lead-off single from Willi Castro in their half of the 2nd inning with a strike'em out, throw'em out in Correa's AB. Still trail 1-0.
