Minors

Tonight's minor league games either featured low-scoring gritty contests or lopsided scores that left one team embarrassed. Check out who won the close ones and who got steamrolled in tonight's Minor League Report!

Thursday night had a little bit of everything across the Twins' farm. Read up on all the action!

It was another Joe Ryan start for the Saints, which means plenty of strikeouts and a stingy effort. 2020 1st round pick Aaron Sabato also made his High-A debut in a doubleheader for Cedar Rapids.

On Tuesday night the St. Paul Saints kicked off their biggest series of the season, facing off against the division-leading Toledo MudHens with big-time playoff implications. A couple of games were also rained out in the system, so it was a slow news night when it comes to prospect performances.

Getting a closer look at younger players can offer a glimmer of hope for the future during a lost season. Here are the next four Twins prospects that may make their big-league debuts. 

It's hard to believe that nearly four months of the minor league season are complete. And now there is just over a month to go. There have been several promotions of late. Several of the 2021 draft picks are making their professional debuts or their organizational debuts. Find out which teams are doing well, and which players are leading the way. 

The Wind Surge had a tremendous week, taking five out of six from Springfield on the road. The Mussels also thrived offensively while the Kernels and Saints had trouble tacking on. Let's get you caught up on a busy day for the system!

Jose Miranda had four hits, Jordan Balazovic went six scoreless, and Austin Martin had a late go-ahead hit. If that doesn't get you excited to read about this minor league report, then nothing will. 

There were some notable performances tonight across the Twins system, but none may have been more impactful than how recently-acquired prospect Joe Ryan started his tenure with the organization.

Drew Maggi lit things up in the capital city and the Wichita offense continued to impress. Read up on all the action across the Twins farm system! 

The Twins' affiliates hit homers early and often tonight, and some victories followed. Check out who hit it out and who dominated on the mound in tonight's Minor League Report!

When the Minnesota Twins selected right-hander Ben Gross out of Duke University with the 299th overall pick during the 2019 MLB Draft, they likely didn't envision that he would put together the kind of season he has in 2021. At least not this soon into his career and assuredly not after losing an entire season of development due to a global pandemic.
