7Mohammad Amir (two matches, seven wickets at 28.57) He is keeping count of the catches dropped off his bowling. By his measure, its at least 12 in Tests since his return. Bowled the best over of the series, in Hamilton, but cruelly had to settle for just one wicket from it. He wasnt always menacing - particularly once the juice had left the pitches, but he was the bowler New Zealands batsmen seemed least keen on facing.Sohail Khan (two matches, seven wickets at 38.14, 94 runs at 23.5) Has pecs like adjoining cliffs, and forearms like neem branches, but it is Sohails wit that got him most of his wickets this series, though the muscles did help with his batting. He was expensive in the second innings at Hamilton, but was otherwise good in a series that didnt really feature the outswing he relies on.Babar Azam (two matches, 142 runs at 47.33) His 90 not out wasnt the highest score in the series, but it may have been the most impressive innings, as more experienced teammates crashed and burned around him. Has a back foot punch as sublime as his monobrow, and in his efficient footwork and ability to pick length early, he may have the tools to become a very good batsman. This has been said of plenty of young Pakistan batsmen before. We can only hope Azam doesnt become another cautionary tale.Imran Khan (one match, six wickets at 21.33) Bowled accurately on a helpful deck in Hamilton, delivering some especially memorable indippers to right-handed batsmen, though he picked up a wicket off a terrible, short, wide ball as well. Wasnt the most threatening Pakistan bowler, but was the most disciplined in the Test he played.6Rahat Ali (one match, four wickets at 21.50) Was the best of Pakistans bowlers on the third morning at Hagley Oval, which was maybe the visitors best session of the whole series. Despite having achieved his teams best haul in that game, was unrequired in Hamilton.5Sami Aslam (two matches, 122 runs at 30.50) Could have played for a maiden Test hundred on the final day of the series, but instead he perished slogging unselfishly for the team. Nicked off twice to Tim Southee when the ball was angled across him, but this is a common enough ailment for left-handed openers. Coaches might do well to keep him out of the slips for a little while, at least until some catching confidence can be regained.Azhar Ali (two matches, 105 runs at 26.25) His 31 at Hagley Oval came off 173 deliveries. His 58 at Seddon Park off 161. Clearly Azhar has an impressive defensive technique in difficult positions, but in this series, he didnt quite convert that into a substantial advantage for his team.4Misbah-Ul-Haq (one match, 44 runs at 22.00) In keeping with a theme for the senior batsmen, Misbah spent a lot of time at the crease at Hagley Oval without scoring many runs. His mis-hit hook off a Southee bouncer sparked a collapse in the second innings of that match. Was unavailable for the second Test due to tragic family circumstances.Sarfraz Ahmed (69 runs at 17.25, nine catches) Should have been run out about four times in Hamilton, but was dismissed this way only once - when Pakistan were looking to him for quick runs. Now having played 30 Tests, he will want to improve on that average outside Asia. Was generally good behind the stumps.3Asad Shafiq (two matches, 56 runs at 14.00) The move back down to no. 6 did not produce the familiar Shafiq yield from the middle order. Had two slightly strange dismissals in Hamilton, once playing on attempting a booming off drive, and then giving point a catch off the leading edge, when he had wanted to push a full ball to leg.Mohammad Rizwan (one match, 13 runs at 13.00) Fell to a Neil Wagner short ball off the first Test delivery he ever faced, but managed the bouncers much better in the second innings. Looked a secure slip fielder as well.Wahab Riaz (one match, two wickets at 55.00) Had a chance missed off his bowling in the second innings at Hamilton, and though he bowled a good spell on the fourth day, didnt have enough wickets to show for it again. Pakistan hope he will be more effective across the Tasman, where the pitches are expected to be harder and faster.2Yasir Shah (one match, no wickets) Bowled 13.3 decent overs on a profoundly unhelpful Hagley Oval deck, and despite having spurred many famous victories in recent years, was left out - perhaps wrongly - at Hamilton. His greatest impact on the series might have been as a substitute fielder.Younis Khan (two matches, 16 runs at 4.00) Eleven, 2, 2 and 1 - so read Younis scores on a tour on which Pakistan desperately missed him. Seam movement undid him twice, bounce once, and to close out the series, he padded up to a ball headed for off stump. http://www.ramsrookiestore.com/Rams-Nickell-Robey-Coleman-Jersey/ .ca looks back at the stories and moments that made the year memorable. http://www.ramsrookiestore.com/Rams-Todd-Gurley-Jersey/ .

Jon Montgomery of Eckville, Alta. http://www.ramsrookiestore.com/Rams-Troy-Hill-Jersey/ .Y. -- Sabres forward Drew Stafford has witnessed plenty of turmoil during his eight seasons in Buffalo. MINNEAPOLIS -- Byron Buxtons trip back to Minnesota included an early morning wakeup, a flat tire on his rental car on the way to the airport, a three-mile walk and a changed flight, followed by the need to get his car out of security when he got back to the Twin Cities.The long, tiring trip was worth it Thursday night.Buxton homered in his return to the majors, and Trevor Plouffe continued his resurgence with a two-run shot as the Twins beat the Chicago White Sox 8-5 to end a 13-game losing streak.Im about to go straight to the pillow, Buxton said. Im exhausted.Buxton started his third stint with Minnesota this season in surprising fashion, connecting for a three-run home run to cap a five-run second inning. The home run reached the second deck in left field and was Buxtons second of the season, his first in 34 games.The former top prospect has had a rough transition to the majors, hitting .199 entering Thursday in 109 career games the past two seasons. He was sent back to Triple-A Rochester on Aug. 7 after a 1-for-18 stretch saw his 2016 average dip to .193.Were going to be looking for positive signs here, Twins manager Paul Molitor said. Hes still very young in terms of age and experience. Hes got a lot of work to do. But we all know that theres talent there that were hoping to see that he can harness a little bit more consistently.Minnesota got to Chicago starter Jose Quintana, who entered the day leading the American League with a 2.77 ERA. Quintana (11-10) allowed seven runs and seven hits in five innings and saw his ERA rise to 3.05.I mean disappointing with the homers, especially early, Quintana said. It was a bad night for me.Ervin Santana (7-10) escaped trouble to win for the fourth time in five decisions. He gave up 11 hits and two walks, but allowed just two runs as the Twins snapped their losing streak, one off the franchise record for a season.Brandon Kintzler recorded his 13th save in 14 chances.Everybody seems more happy than yesterday, Santana said. But its still, we have more games to play.Chicago has scored 171 runs, the second-fewest in the AL, since the All-Star break. The White Sox left runners in scoring position in each of the first five innings and left a total of 13 men on base in the game.Avisail Garcia showed the frustration when he snapped his bat over his knee aftter his second strikeout of the game in the seventh.ddddddddddddWe left a lot of runs out there, Chicago manager Robin Ventura said. When you look up there and see youve left 10 guys and they didnt leave any at one point; that really kind of tells the tale more than (Quintana).Todd Frazier hit his 34th home run to open the scoring in the second for the White Sox. Jose Abreu connected for a two-run homer, his 20th, in the sixth.COME ON UPBuxton was Minnesotas lone call-up on Thursday with rosters expanding in September.Chicago added RHP Juan Minaya and C Kevan Smith from Triple-A Charlotte.Minaya, 25, was 5-6 with a 3.63 ERA and 47 strikeouts in 52 innings over 47 relief appearances since being claimed off waivers from Houston on June 22.Smith, 28, was recalled by the White Sox in April before going on the DL with a sacroiliac joint dysfunction without playing in a game. Smith was hitting .219 with eight home runs and 24 RBI for Charlotte this season.Minaya and Smith made their major league debuts in the eighth inning. Minaya pitched a scoreless inning. Smith lined out to center in his first at-bat.TRAINERS ROOMWhite Sox: SS Tim Anderson left the game in the third with a bruised right calf and was announced by the team as day to day. He was hit by line drive by teammate Melky Cabrera in the first. ... RHP Miguel Gonzalez (strained right groin) started a rehab assignment with Triple-A Charlotte on Thursday. Gonzalez took the loss while allowing seven runs -- six earned -- in 4 1/3 innings. He struck out seven.Twins: Pitchers Trevor May (low back strain) and Tommy Milone (left biceps tendinitis) each threw a bullpen session on Wednesday and are scheduled to throw in the bullpen again during the weekend. If all goes well, the two would make a simulated start sometime next week, Molitor said.UP NEXTRHP Kyle Gibson (5-8, 5.17 ERA) will start the second game of the four-game series for Minnesota on Friday against LHP Carlos Rodon (5-8, 3.91). Gibson has allowed nine earned runs over his past two starts but has given up just one earned run in 12 2/3 innings against the White Sox this season. Rodon has won his last three decisions and owns a 1.47 ERA in his past five starts.
