Byron Buxton hit the first pitch of the game for an inside-the-park home run and the Twins went on to defeat the White Sox, 6-3. The only other player who hit an inside-the-park homer to lead off the first inning of a game for his team this season was Buxton’s teammate at the time, Eduardo Nunez, who did it for Minnesota on June 2 against the Rays (in the bottom of the first).
