Byron Buxton continues to struggle at the plate.
The Twins won two of three games on the road vs. the Astros this weekend. What did we learn from their performance in Houston?In game one of the series, Lopez had his best outing since May 9 and one of his best of the season. He has struggled to find a rhythm this season with a 4.84 ERA, but he went seven innings for the first time since Opening Day.
He struck out six Astros while allowing only one earned run and six hits. In 12 starts this season he has allowed one run or less only five times, giving him an ugly earn-run average. But did you know that while his actual ERA is 4.84 his expected ERA is 2.99? That goes to show that lousy contact and luck are producing runs against Lopez, which is likely to progress to the mean and deliver better numbers as time goes on.
It was reported earlier this season that Larnach's average home run distance was the longest by a Twins player in the Statcast era, since 2015. His raw numbers might not jump off the page, but the 27-year-old having the best season of his career and he's earned an every day spot in the lineup.After a two-week stint on the injured list with knee soreness, Buxton has been back in the Twins lineup since May 18. Over the weekend he went 1-for-11 at the plate with four strikeouts.
Since returning from the sore knee, he has hit .230, with two home runs and four RBIs. He has struck out in 12 of his 39 at-bats . His seven-year, $100 million contract extension is only becoming more questionable as time goes on, as he has not looked like the same player since it was signed. Minnesota will be back on the road Tuesday at 6:05 p.m. CT for a three-game series in New York vs. the Yankees.
