Edouard Julien homered off former Auburn teammate Casey Mize, Byron Buxton also went deep and the Minnesota Twins beat the Detroit Tigers 5-1 to stop a three-game losing streak.

Buxton jump-started the offense with a solo homer to left in the first, and he played a big role in manufacturing the Twins’ fourth run. After Julien’s leadoff homer in the sixth, Buxton hit a line drive to left field. For 99.9% of human beings, it would have been a single. But Buxton never broke stride and cruised into second with a double.
