Pitcher Joe Ryan and center fielder Byron Buxton had stellar games Tuesday night on the big stage in Atlanta. The AL rallied to force a swing-off but lost to the NL.

He already has posted a 3.4 fWAR (Wins Above Replacement per FanGraphs), which was tied for 12th in the majors entering Monday. Buxton’s own personal highlights include a 479-foot home run, the longest of his career, and a beautiful diving catch to secure a win in April.

Minnesota Twins center fielder Byron Buxton completed the cycle with a home run in the bottom of the seventh inning during the team's 12-4 win over the Pittsburgh Pirates on Saturday.
