In a shocking display of raw power and disregard for the sanctity of stitched leather, Byron Buxton was officially charged with the murder of a baseball Wednesday evening after sending a slider into orbit.

Buxton showcased his remarkable skills: first with a diving catch to save a run and then hitting the longest home run of his career.

Buxton (elbow) was scratched from the lineup for Sunday's game against the Astros.

Minnesota Twins center fielder Byron Buxton launched a 479-foot homer at Target Field on Wednesday night against the Texas Rangers. It's one of the longest home runs of the 2025 MLB season, and it's one that left the Twins television broadcast in stitches over just how dominant it really was.
