Buxton makes sensational catch in CF

Twins top prospect Byron Buxton put his outfield skills on full display, leading off the fifth inning against the Red Sox on Thursday.

Josh Rutledge sent a fly ball to deep center field, and Buxton turned, tracked the ball and caught it in full stride over his shoulder while falling on the warning track.

It proved to be an even bigger catch when David Ortiz hit his first homer of the spring two batters later.
