Buxton went 1-for-4 with a home run and two RBI in Tuesday's 9-1 win over the A's.
The homer was his first of the season, and his first extra-base hit since April 15. Buxton's now hitting .294/.500/.471 over the last week and has started to get his contact issues under control, striking out only three times (against seven walks) in 17 at-bats during that stretch. It's a small sample to be sure, but Buxton investors who have been patient through his awful first month of the year may finally be seeing some light at the end of the tunnel.
