Byron Buxton had his bobblehead day on Saturday — and decided to celebrate by putting on a show. The Minnesota Twins center fielder hit for the cycle in the Twins’ 12-4 win over the Pittsburgh Pirates, putting up a dominant performance in front of an appreciative home crowd.
Buxton achieve the feat in the seventh inning, after hitting a solo homer that went 447 feet into deep center. It’s the first time that Buxton has hit for the cycle in his career.
Buxton opened the game with a leadoff single in the top of the first inning. Then, in the second, he hit a deep triple, and scored on the next play to give Minnesota a 4-0 lead. An RBI double from Buxton in the third inning sent Ty France home and brought the Twins’ lead to 7-0.

Buxton had another single in the fifth inning, but it was his seventh-inning homer that put him into the history books. In all, the center fielder ended the night with five hits in five at-bats, with two RBIs and three runs.
Buxton’s cycle marks the second time this season that someone has hit for the cycle this season: Chicago Cubs catcher Carson Kelly achieved the feat in March against the Athletics. It’s a somewhat rare achievement in baseball, with less than 30 active players who have hit for the cycle in their careers.
Buxton’s huge day anchored a strong performance from the Twins, who dominated the Pirates from the start. In addition to Buxton, second baseman Kody Clemens, designated hitter Matt Wallner and left fielder Willi Castro all hit home runs; Castro’s homer came immeditately after Buxton’s cycle-clinching one.

After a 2-1 win over Pittsburgh on Friday, Minnesota is now one game away from completing a home sweep against the Pirates, giving them some momentum heading into the All-Star break.

Salače zlobilo rameno, přesto v předčasně ukončeném závodě v Německu dojel šťastně v desítce
„Je to pro mě docela těžký víkend, včera byla voda, měl jsem menší pád, hnul jsem si s ramenem a není to úplně ideální, je to už třetí den,“ pravil Salač před startem závodu do kamery TV Nova.V deštivé sobotní kvalifikaci si na německé dráze nedaleko hranic s Českem vyjel čtrnáctou příčku, ze které se po startu dostal o dvě pozice vpřed. Postupně ale začal klesat pořadím a pendloval kolem poslední bodované patnácté pozice.Směrem kupředu mu ale pomohly dva karamboly jezdců před nimi. Nejprve se srazil David Alonso s Diogem Moreirou a čtyři kola před koncem Albert Arenas s Marcosem Ramírezem. Právě po jejich srážce byl závod předčasně ukončen. Salač tak dojel posedmé z dosavadních jedenácti závodů v první desítce. Na Sachsenringu vyhrál Turek Deniz Öncü, jenž se nedlouho po startu ze šesté pozice dostal do čela a skoro celou dobu mu dýchal na záda Belgičan Barry Baltus. Třetí finišoval Salačův stájový […]

Po odchodu Portugalce Florencia se k házenkářkám Mostu vrací kouč Tancoš
Florencio u týmu skončil po jediné sezoně, ve které Černí andělé vybojovali jedenáctý mistrovský titul. Třiačtyřicetiletý Portugalec se v červnu rozhodl přijmout nabídku z Rumunska. Už tehdy Severočeši oznámili, že přípravu s týmem zahájí Tancoš s Šustáčkem, v tomto týdnu jejich angažování potvrdili.Třiapadesátiletý Tancoš už mostecké házenkářky vedl v letech 2019-2021 a pak ještě v ročníku 2022/23 po brzkém odvolání Poláka Adriana Struzika. Bývalý reprezentant se tedy k interligovému týmu vrací po dvou letech. Sportovním ředitelem klubu nově zůstane pouze u mládežnických kategorií.
