NBC SportsJose Miranda went 1-for-4 and drove in a pair of runs on Tuesday night, helping to lead the Twins to a come-from-behind 8-3 victory over the White Sox.

The Twins couldn't get anything going through the first 5 2/3 innings against Shane Smith in this one, but they chased him as Byron Buxton and Trevor Larnach worked a pair of two-out walks. Ryan Jeffers, Ty France and Edouard Julien then followed with RBI singles to tie the game before Miranda knocked in a pair with a single of his own to give the Twins a 5-3 lead. The 26-year-old is off to a slow start at the dish this season, hitting .167 (3-for-18) with zero homers and two RBI.

NBC SportsByron Buxton and Carlos Correa were both lifted from Monday's blowout loss after one at-bat.

There didn't appear to be any injuries here, just the Twins getting two of their best players a half-day off in what turned out to be a 9-0 loss. Both Buxton and Correa were 0-for-1 before exiting.

NBC SportsDavid Bednar surrendered a Byron Buxton homer in his inning against the Twins on Monday.

It's unclear if the Pirates will have Bednar close initially, but it's not like they appear to have any particularly strong alternatives. Bednar, unfortunately, has looked more like a mop-up man all spring. His velocity is down 1-2 mph from last year, when he mostly struggled, and he wound up allowing 10 runs -- nine earned -- over eight innings in Grapefruit League play. Dennis Santana and Colin Holderman are the other candidates to factor into the mix for saves in Pittsburgh.

NBC SportsByron Buxton hit his second spring homer Saturday for the Twins' lone run against the Blue Jays.

Buxton crushed a ball 437 feet off Kevin Gowdy. Seemingly completely healthy at the moment, he's hit .306/.422/.528 in 53 plate appearances this spring. It won't last forever, but he's a great pick late in mixed-league drafts.
