Buxton was the designated hitter for the Saints and batted second in the lineup. In his first at-bat, he flew out. In his second at-bat, he drew a walk. And, in his third at-bat, he hit a triple off the right field wall.

Buxton will play in center field on Wednesday, then likely again on Thursday. He then is expected to re-join the Twins this weekend against the Houston Astros at Target Field.
