Byron Buxton has had an All-Star season for the Minnesota Twins highlighted by his consistent presence in the lineup.

Buxton will look to become the second Twins player to win the Home Run Derby, and he'll do it in his home state.

The hometown favorite, Acuña has been one of the best hitters in the majors since returning from his second ACL surgery. This will be his third career Home Run Derby; he lost to Mets first baseman Pete Alonso in both 2019 and 2022. With the event taking place in Atlanta, the timing is right for him to finally take the prize.
