MINNEAPOLIS -- Theres still plenty of time for Byron Buxton to master the majors.His most recent stint with Minnesota has sure started strong.Miguel Sano and Trevor Plouffe each homered during an eight-run third inning, Buxton hit a two-run shot and the Twins went deep four times in an 11-3 victory over the Chicago White Sox on Saturday night.Buxton is 6 for 10 with five runs, five RBI and two homers without a strikeout in three games since his latest call-up from Triple-A. The second overall pick in the 2012 draft has raised his batting average 20 points to .213.Just going up there and having fun, not pressing, not thinking about anything, Buxton said, just going up there and letting my ability take over.The 22-year-old has elite speed and defense, but until this weekend hes been mostly been overmatched in 336 career at-bats.Its a lot to throw at a young kid, and hes just continued to try to find ways to be successful up here, manager Paul Molitor said.Buxton went 3 for 4 with a pair of doubles to go with his soaring home run in the second inning against beleaguered starter James Shields (5-17).I try to get higher, Shields said, but I didnt get it up enough.Brian Dozier led off with his 34th homer. The Twins have 162 homers with 26 games to go, the most theyve hit in six years with a pace to post their highest total since their championship season in 1987.Max Kepler had two doubles among his three hits and Dozier stole two bases, helping build an 11-2 lead for Hector Santiago to take into the fourth.Santiago (11-8) won for the first time in six starts since the Twins acquired him in late July from the Los Angeles Angels, finishing six innings with three runs allowed and six strikeouts.Santiago was coming off his best performance with Minnesota -- 6 1/3 scoreless innings at Cleveland. The left-hander cruised through this one after allowing a leadoff home run to Adam Eaton.I definitely feel like I got stronger tonight as the game went on, Santiago said.Shields -- also a midseason acquisition -- kept on struggling. Shipped east by the San Diego Padres in early June, he is 3-10 in 17 starts for the White Sox. Shields has a 7.50 ERA with his new club, averaging exactly five innings per turn.Shields was checked by a team athletic trainer following a leadoff walk to Plouffe in the third and pulled with one out. He was charged with five runs after giving up four walks and five hits, including a two-run smash by Sano that landed in the third deck above left field. The White Sox needed two more relievers to finish the inning, capped by a three-run shot by Plouffe.Shields experienced some tightness in his back after leaving the game.I know he can pitch better than that, manager Robin Ventura said. But these guys on the other side, theyve hit a lot of homers against us.FOR STARTERSWith Eaton and Dozier going deep, this was the fourth time in the majors this season that both leadoff batters homered. Dozier has 16 career leadoff homers, the second-most in club history behind Jacque Jones (20). Since the All-Star break, Dozier leads the league in home runs (20), extra-base hits (37) and runs (41).Hes just not missing many pitches. Hes on a quite tear, Molitor said.REDEMPTION OPPORTUNITYThe Twins recalled catcher John Ryan Murphy from Triple-A Rochester, a chance for him to improve upon the 3-for-40 start to the season that prompted his demotion. Acquired from the New York Yankees for outfielder Aaron Hicks in a winter trade, Murphy hit .236 with 39 RBI in 83 games for Rochester.TRAINERS ROOMWhite Sox: Rookie SS Tim Anderson returned to the lineup after a day off for a bruised right calf muscle.Twins: RHP Trevor May (back) and LHP Tommy Milone (biceps) threw in the bullpen before the game and are set to face live batters in a session on Tuesday.UP NEXTThe White Sox will send RHP Anthony Ranaudo (1-1, 8.76 ERA) to the mound on Sunday for the finale of the four-game series, with LHP Andrew Albers (0-0, 6.97 ERA) set to take the mound for the Twins.

Chris Martin Jersey . -- Aaron Murray threw for 408 yards and three touchdowns, ran for another score, and led No. CALGARY -- The Calgary Stampeders finished the job this time. Up a touchdown at halftime July 5 in Regina, they didnt score again while the Saskatchewan Roughriders churned out 22 points en route to victory. When the Roughriders threatened to come from behind again Friday, the Stampeders preserved a 42-27 win on a tide-turning defensive play and offence from their big guns in the fourth quarter. Saskatchewan lost for the first time this season, putting both teams at 5-1 atop both the CFL standings and the West Division standings. "The one biggest thing we emphasized was finish because we didnt do that last time and I think we did it tonight," Stampeders quarterback Kevin Glenn said. "The biggest thing was staying together as a team and having each others back because we knew it was going to be a hard-fought game. They were undefeated for a reason." Calgary running back Jon Cornish had a torrid night with four touchdowns, 175 rushing yards and another 20 receiving yards. Saskatchewan counterpart Kory Sheets was held to just eight yards in the first half before the CFLs leading rusher strung together his trademark rumbles in the second. Sheets finished with 133 yards on 14 carries. Calgary led 26-7 at halftime, but the Roughriders scored 13 unanswered points in the third quarter. Demonte Bolden halted Saskatchewans momentum by sacking quarterback Darian Durant in the end zone for a point in the fourth. Glenn then threw a 25-yard touchdown pass to Nik Lewis and Cornish scored his fourth major of the night on a one-yard dive. "Saskatchewan is a great team and they proved it in the second half," Cornish said. "They have probably the most explosive offence Ive seen in my seven years in the CFL. "They can put up 100 yards in 10 seconds so its really good we got this win against them, but its going to be tough sledding against them the next game." Calgary and Saskatchewan are 1-1 against each other and will decide the season series Oct. 26 in Calgary. Calgary kicker Rene Paredes extended his CFL record for consecutive field goals to 36 with kicks from 30 and 27 yards. Glenn was Calgarys starter instead of an injured Drew Tate, with backup Bo Levi Mitchell spelling Glenn on short-yardage situations. Glenn completed 21-of-28 pass attempts for 218 yards and one touchdown. Durant returned to Saskatchewans lineup after sitting out a game with an ankle injury..dddddddddddd The veteran threw a pair of touchdown passes to Chris Getzlaf and another to Jock Sanders in front of an announced sellout of 35,637 wearing both Roughrider green and Stampeder red. "We came into this game thinking we were on equal footing with Saskatchewan, but we had the advantage of being at home," Cornish said. People always say Saskatchewan (fans) always fills up the stands, but I saw a lot of Calgarian fans here today." Durant was 20-for-32 in passing for 279 yards. Roughrider kicker Chris Milo kicked field goals from 28 and 13 yards. "We knew coming out of the locker room at halftime we would have to make some hay," Calgary coach John Hufnagel said. "We didnt. They did, but we were able to seize the momentum back and the defence came up with a big safety. "We took the ensuing kickoff and marched it down for a touchdown, so that was a big nine points in that football game." Calgary dominated the first half by holding the CFLs leading offence to 135 yards, while Cornish ran for 115 and three touchdowns. "Whenever you get behind on a good team, its always hard to make up ground," Durant said. "They had a great game plan. Their rushers and tacklers were really good tonight and we werent able to make up the ground. Cornish made the most of a gap created by his offensive linemen and raced 32 yards to score at 12:54 of the second quarter. Paredes gave the hosts a 19-point cushion before halftime with his second field goal of the game. The Stamps led 13-0 after the first quarter on two Cornish touchdowns. Paredes padded the lead to 16-0 before the Roughriders countered in the second quarter. Durant marched the visitors 75 yards and finished the drive with a 20-yard pass to Getzlaf at 5:04. Cornishs second TD of the opening quarter was a two-yard dash off a Mitchell handoff at 8:55. The Stampeders turned Saskatchewans first offensive fumble of the season into a major. On Saskatchewans opening drive, the football squirted out of bounds when Brandon Smith brought Sheets down near the sideline. Hufnagels challenge overturned the initial ruling that Sheets was the last to touch the ball. Cornishs 14-yard run on the next play and a convert from Paredes put Calgary up 7-0 at 2:42. The Stampeders are on the road against the B.C. Lions (4-2) next week, while the Roughriders host the struggling Montreal Alouettes (2-4). ' ' '
