With budding superstar Paul Skenes in town, I muse on Clayton Kershaw’s likely-to-never-again-be-duplicated legacy

All-Star center fielder Byron Buxton hit for the cycle on his bobblehead day, completing it with a solo home run in the seventh inning, and the Minnesota Twins routed the Pittsburgh Pirates 12-4.

The Pittsburgh Pirates made a decision on Oneil Cruz after he left Saturday's game against the Minnesota Twins.

Buxton singled in the first, tripled in the second, hit a ground-rule double in the third, singled in the fifth and homered late, becoming the first Twin to hit for the cycle since Jorge Polanco.

Sunday, 1:10 p.m.: RHP Mitch Keller (3-10, 3.58 ERA) vs. RHP Simeon Woods Richardson (5-4, 4.08)

Correa has played in 82 of Minnesota's first 94 games, hitting .261 with seven home runs and 30 RBIs. He and the Twins will look for a series sweep over the Pirates on Sunday, with first pitch scheduled for 1:10 p.m. CT.

The losing streak has now reached a season-high eight games after getting blown out 12-4 by the Minnesota Twins on Saturday afternoon at Target Field.

The fans who came for the Byron Buxton bobblehead also were treated to the first cycle in Target Field history.
