The Nationals yo-yo offense struck again last night. After getting shut out in game one, the Nats worked Twins ace Joe Ryan. It has just been that kind of year for the offense. Hopefully we get the good offense today as the Nats look for the series win in Minnesota.

After making a huge play earlier in the game, Byron Buxton exited the Twins game against the Nationals with concerning side soreness.

Buxton came into Saturday with a career slash line of .249/.309/.486 with 156 homers and 412 RBI over 856 games. The Twins selected him No. 2 overall in the 2012 MLB Draft, and he made the All-Star team in 2022 and 2025. He also won Gold and Platinum Glove Awards in 2017.
