Buxton would complete the cycle in the bottom of the seventh by hitting a solo home run deep behind center field.
The Detroit Tigers are currently cruising through the AL Central with an 11.5 game lead over the Twins. However, it is nice when a fanbase can enjoy a moment like this, even if their current postseason dreams are on life support.
