\n\tTRANSACTIONS \u00a0\u00a0
Twins catcher Ryan Jeffers<\/a> began his rehab assignment with the Saints on Friday night in St. Paul.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n

\n\tIF Andy Lugo<\/a> was activated by the Kernels.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n

\n\tLHP Michael Carpenter<\/a> went to the FCL to make a rehab appearance on Saturday.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n

\n\tFCL Twins infielder Haritzon Castillo<\/a> was placed on the 60-Day Injured List. He has not played since the first week of the DSL season.\n<\/p>\n

\n\tSAINTS SENTINEL
St. Paul 4, Buffalo 3 \u00a0
Box Score<\/a>
Ryan Gallagher<\/a> has experienced several ups and downs since joining the Saints. This is one of his best Triple-A starts. He tossed 4 2\/3 scoreless innings. He gave up two hits, walked one and had five strikeouts.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n

\n\tKendry Rojas<\/a> came in to get the final out of the fifth inning and worked two more innings. In 2 2\/3 innings, he gave up two runs on four hits and a walk. He had three strikeouts.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n

\n\tC.J. Culpepper<\/a> came in to get the final two outs of the seventh inning. He walked one but was otherwise unscathed. Paulshawn Pasqualotto<\/a> came on for the ninth inning, attempting to hold onto a 4-2 lead. He gave up an unearned run on a hit and a walk but struck out three batters to complete the Saints win. Pasqualotto was just promoted to St. Paul a day earlier. This was his Triple-A debut, and he recorded his first Triple-A save.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tWalker Jenkins<\/a> returned to the lineup on Friday night after one night off. In the third inning, he hit a solo homer, his third with the Saints to give the team a 1-0 lead. He went 2-for-4 in the game. In addition, he shared an assist with Tanner Schobel<\/a> to record an out at home.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n

\n\tAfter missing nearly two months with a broken hamate bone, Ryan Jeffers began his rehab. He DHd and got four at-bats. He went 2-for-4 with a couple of rocket singles to center, the first at 105 mph and the second at 108 mph.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n

\n\tIn the fourth inning, Cody Morissette<\/a> hit his sixth home run with the Saints to make it 2-0. The 26-year-old was the Marlins second-round pick in 2021 out of Boston College. He reached Triple-A Jacksonville late in the 2025 season, and that\u2019s where he began the 2026 season. He was released by the Marlins on June 2nd. He signed with the Twins on June 8th. He spent about one week with Double-A Wichita to get some at-bats. In his 15th game with the Saints, he went 2-for-4 with his fourth double and sixth home run.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tThe Twins third run scored came on a sacrifice fly by Hendry Mendez<\/a> that scored Matt Wallner<\/a>. He had walked and went to third on Gabriel Gonzalez<\/a>\u2019s 14th double. Wallner was 1-for-2 with a walk, was hit by a pitch, and in the seventh inning, he hit his 13th home run with the Saints.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tWIND SURGE WISDOM

Through the first inning, Wichita had a 3-1 lead. Through five innings, they were ahead 4-2. However, the Drillers scored three runs in the sixth, three in the seventh, and two more runs in the eighth inning.\u00a0\u00a0\n<\/p>\n

\n\tAndrew Cossetti<\/a> led off the bottom of the first inning with his sixth double<\/a>. He advanced to third with one out. Garrett Spain<\/a> walked. Cossetti scored on a sacrifice fly by Billy Amick<\/a>. Kyle DeBarge<\/a> followed with his ninth home run of the season, a two-run shot that made it 3-1. DeBarge went 2-for-4.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tChris Vallimont<\/a> started and gave up two runs on three hits and a walk over four innings. He had three strikeouts. Zach Vennaro<\/a> came on and gave up two runs on one hit over 1 1\/3 innings. Sam Ryan<\/a> came on with a runner on base. He allowed the inherited runner to score and two more runs on two hits and two walks, and he recorded two outs. Nick Mikolajchak<\/a> gave up two runs on three hits in one inning. Darren Bowen<\/a> gave up two runs (1 earned) on two hits in two innings. He walked three and had four strikeouts.\n<\/p>\n

\n\tAmick went 2-for-4 with his 12th double. His 19th home run came in the third inning.\u00a0 \u00a0\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tJaime Ferrer<\/a> went 2-for-4 and stole a base.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n

\n\tKERNELS CHRONICLE\u00a0
Cedar Rapids 2, Quad Cities 13 (suspended in the 4th inning)
Box Score<\/a>
The rain came in the bottom of the fourth and the game was suspended. The teams will finish this game on Saturday before the regularly scheduled game. Some might argue this one was over soon after it started. Quad Cities scored seven runs in the bottom of the first inning and four more in the top of the second. They had already scored two runs in the bottom of the fourth when the game was suspended with two outs. Finally, we\u2019ll go into more detail when the game is complete. But just so you\u2019re aware. Lefty Cesar Lares<\/a> started and was charged with 11 runs (10 earned) on seven hits (including 2 homers) and three walks.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n

\n\tMIGHTY MATTERS
Ft. Myers 4, Clearwater 3
Box Score<\/a> \u00a0
Five of the game\u2019s seven runs were scored in the first inning. The Mussels scored three runs in the top of the first inning. Clearwater responded with two runs in the bottom of the first inning. Just two more runs scored over the final eight innings.\u00a0\u00a0\n<\/p>\n

\n\tWith two outs in the top of the first inning, Jayson Bass<\/a> walked. Luis Fragoza<\/a> followed with a single. Byron Chourio<\/a> followed by crushing his fifth home run of the season to make it 3-0.\u00a0 \u00a0\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tReed Moring<\/a> started and gave up two runs on five hits over three innings. Merit Jones<\/a> came in and gave up one run on five hits and four walks over 3 2\/3 innings. Michael Hilker<\/a> came in and tossed 2 1\/3 scoreless innings to earn his third save. He gave up just one hit, walked none, and had three strikeouts. He really \u2018earned\u2019 the save in the bottom of the seventh when he entered the game with the bases loaded and didn\u2019t allow any to score.\u00a0\u00a0\n<\/p>\n

\n\tIn the third inning, Ryan Sprock<\/a> hit his fifth home run of the season. He went 2-for-5 in the game.\u00a0 \u00a0\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tCOMPLEX CHRONICLES
FCL Twins, FCL Red Sox (postponed)
Box Score \u00a0
Rain caused Friday\u2019s game to be postponed. The cross-town rivals will attempt to play two games on Saturday.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n

\n\tDSL Twins 1, DSL Marlins 2 (8 innings)
Box Score <\/a>\u00a0\u00a0
They were scheduled to play seven innings, but the Twins and Marlins were having so much fun, they played an extra inning too on Friday morning. Actually, when the score was tied 1-1 after seven innings, the rules of the game are to play another inning.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n

\n\tThe Twins jumped to an early lead when Fabian Ulloa<\/a> walked with the bases loaded in the top of the first inning to drive in Daiyer Barboza<\/a>. That was about it for the Twins offense.\n<\/p>\n

\n\tThe pitching was really good though. 16-year-old Adrian Martinez<\/a> started and struck out eight batters over four scoreless innings. He gave up two hits and walked two batters. Herkyn Taveras<\/a> came on and had a walk and a strikeout over two scoreless, hitless innings. Jeremy Jimenez<\/a> came in for the bottom of the seventh, but he gave up a run to send it to an extra frame. He gave up a solo homer to lead off the bottom of the eighth which ended the game. He gave up two runs (1 earned) on three hits. In his 1+ inning.\n<\/p>\n

\n\tThe Twins had just two hits in the game. They walked eight times. Abel Sosa<\/a> and Anibal Beltre<\/a> each walked twice. Enmanuel Merlo<\/a> hit a single, and Daiyer Barboza hit his third double.\u00a0\u00a0\n<\/p>\n
