Twins squandering Buxton's brilliant season

By the numbers: Buxton has already hit 20 home runs, gone a perfect 16-for-16 in stolen bases and ranks statistically as the best centerfielder in the American League.

• It's not just the stats, though. He's also making jaw-dropping catches in the outfield.

Yes, but: The Twins have gone 9-20 since June 4 and are five games out of a playoff spot as pitcher injuries have piled up and the rest of the lineup has struggled to score runs.

What we're watching: Buxton will compete on Monday night in the Home Run Derby in his home state of Georgia.
