Twins’ three-game win streak snapped with 10-inning loss to Orioles

Published Sun, 23 Feb 2025 10:57:42 GMT

Byron Buxton stood just outside of the first base bag with his hands on his hips, waiting to see whether or not he had just given the Twins a 3-0 lead.Buxton saw Baltimore center fielder Cedric Mullins leap at the wall near the 411-foot marker but was unsure of whether he got his glove on a ball he had just hit an estimated 414 feet at 104.3 mph off Orioles left-hander Cole Irvin.When Mullins came down with it, Buxton slammed his helmet to the ground before raising his arms, as if to say, “Why?” Or maybe, “How?” Mullins responded in kind, as if to say, “Sorry, man, it’s my job.”Instead of watching Carlos Correa and Donovan Solano trotting home ahead of him for a 3-0, third-inning lead, Buxton tipped his cap. He’s a center fielder, too — or was before being limited to designated hitting duties this season — and appreciates a highlight reel catch.It was the play of the game, the difference between victory and defeat as the Orioles won the first of a three-game series, 3-1 in 10 inning...
