It will now be up in the air whether Buxton can take part in the All-Star Home run Derby at the All-Star contest.<\/p>\n<p>The Cubs and Twins are back in action today. Colin Rea will go to the mound for the Cubs. Chris Paddack will take the hill for the Twins.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>At St. Louis<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Home runs again were the demise for the St. Louis Cardinals as the Washington Nationals claimed an 8-2 victory Wednesday.<\/p>\n<p>Nathaniel Lowe hit a three-run homer while James Wood knocked out his 24th home run in the seventh inning. Wood will be competing in the All-Star Game and will be taking part in the Home Run Derby.<\/p>\n<p>Lowe got his 14th homer in the first inning and Amed Rosario hit a solo shot in the fifth. The Nationals tallied three more in the sixth.<\/p>\n<p>The two teams will return to action today against each other.
