Buxton Hits Grand Slam in Twins' 10-Run 5th Inning Against Diamondbacks

Buxton tied the American League homer lead with his 24th of the season as Minnesota sent 14 batters to the plate in a 10-run fifth.

  • On Saturday, June 20, Byron Buxton hit his 24th home run—a grand slam—in the Minnesota Twins' 10-run fifth inning at Chase Field, giving the Twins a 12-0 lead.
  • Arizona Diamondbacks starter Zac Gallen surrendered two runs in the first and four more in the fourth, setting the stage for the Twins' offensive explosion in the fifth.
  • Brooks Lee, Victor Caratini, Luke Keaschall, and Ryan Kriedler each collected two hits during the inning, with Kriedler's triple driving in the final two runs to make it 16-0.
  • The Diamondbacks placed right-hander Michael Soroka on the 15-day injured list and outfielder Jordan Lawlar on the 10-day injured list, compounding losses after Ryne Nelson's injury one day earlier.
  • Right-Hander Jose Cabrera is expected to make his major league debut for Arizona on Sunday, June 21, replacing Nelson in the rotation against the Twins at Chase Field.
