Byron Buxton struck out looking three times on Friday night and in his other at-bat he bunted into an out, but even that was exciting.
Buxton hammered a bunt on a one-hopper the bag down the first-base line and was barely beaten to the bag for the out. But he set the record for fastest time from home to first by a right-handed hitter in the Statcast era.
How fast?
It took him 3.44 seconds, according to Statcast.
