"Byron Buxton leads Twins to series victory with powerful homer and unique celebration"

Byron Buxton's three-run homer helped the Minnesota Twins to an 8-4 win over the Kansas City Royals, completing a series victory. The Twins' home run celebration, "Land of 10,000 Rakes," was unveiled, featuring a fishing vest and a plastic "Paw Patrol" fishing pole. The team's offense has improved with the help of the long ball, hitting a homer in 13 straight games. Starting pitcher Sonny Gray dominated Kansas City for six innings, ending April as the American League ERA leader. Tyler Mahle will be shut down from throwing for four weeks due to elbow-related injuries, and Alex Kirilloff was activated from the injured list and optioned to Triple-A St. Paul.
