Buxton collected hits in the first, second and third innings against the Pirates before going yard in the seventh

Buxton did more than something good. He became the first player to hit for the cycle at Target Field since the ballpark opened in 2010, helping ignite the Twins to a 12-4 win over the Pirates. It was the 12th cycle in Twins history and the first since Jorge Polanco had one in 2019.

Minnesota Twins center fielder Byron Buxton completed the cycle with a home run in the bottom of the seventh inning against the Pittsburgh Pirates on Saturday.
