Buxton tied Houston\u2019s Yordan Alvarez for the American League homer lead and made the score 12-0 Twins. It was the center fielder\u2019s third career grand slam.<\/p>\n

The Twins already led 6-0 after batting around and scoring four runs in the fourth. They topped that in the fifth, sending 14 men to the plate. Brooks Lee, Victor Caratini, Luke Keaschall and Ryan Kriedler each had two hits in the inning, with Kriedler\u2019s triple driving in the final two runs to make it 16-0. Lee started the fifth with a triple, added a double later, has four hits for the game and is a home run short of a cycle.<\/p>
