Jenkins jumped into action, picking him up and rushing him to the dugout to get medical attention.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The St. Paul Saints say the boy, Lincoln, had been out in the sun all day and was dehydrated. After Jenkins helped him, the team\u2019s athletic trainer got him cooled down and hydrated, and medics on site also checked him out.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Thankfully, the boy was OK. Unfortunately, medics recommended he not go back outside, so Lincoln didn\u2019t get to see Jenkins\u2019 great game and a 12-6 Saints win, but he did get a Walker Jenkins t-shirt before leaving CHS Field.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Meanwhile, Jenkins may have gained a few more fans.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tFor Related Stories:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/kstp.com\/tag\/st-paul-saints\/\" rel=\"tag nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">St. Paul Saints<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Walker Jenkins, the best Minnesota Twins prospect in years, is no stranger to making great plays on the&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":741114,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2388],"tags":[5,822,60,3190,4,5855,148],"class_list":["post-741113","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-minnesota-twins","tag-baseball","tag-minnesota","tag-minnesota-twins","tag-minnesotatwins","tag-mlb","tag-st-paul-saints","tag-twins"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@mlb\/116850040732592227","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/741113","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=741113"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/741113\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/741114"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=741113"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=741113"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=741113"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
