FORT MYERS, Fla. – Byron Buxton announced his arrival to spring training on Tuesday with a loud crack of the bat, rifling a double to the right-center field wall in his first plate appearance in a major league spring training game this season.
Carlos Correa blasted a two-run homer to left during the next at-bat, and the duo put the Twins ahead 2-0 in the first inning. Perhaps the first of many back-to-back hits for the pair.
"Felt good when he started with that double. I was like, 'All right, here we go. It's feeling like the regular season all over again,' " Correa said. "Yeah, definitely got excited to see him back out there."
