By making their MLB debuts in the same game on 4/22 against the Mets, the #MNTwins LHP Connor Prielipp and LHP Kendry Rojas were the 2nd and 3rd players from my preseason list to do so. Congrats Connor and Kendry! twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/tw…

The Cedar Rapids Kernels game had everything on Tuesday: early fireworks, back-and-forth-struggles, repeated celebrations, a rain-delay, and heartbreak. twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/tw…

Enrique Jimenez's reaction as the catcher when this ball is hit says it all. (can view the highlight in the MiLB.com game summary)

The bases were loaded on this ground ball where a double-play would have ended the game. I would have a lot of questions for Kernels coaches about this positioning:

I am so pissed this game is going to extra innings...

And a sacrifice fly has tied this one at 13. 🫤🫤🫤

No idea where the Kernels had the 2B-man lined up with bases loaded, but what looked like a routine grounder off the bat gets through the right side about 20 feet to the left of where the second baseman was (not near up the middle). 2 runs score and calamity imminent for Kernels.

Has now topped out at 84.

Catcher David Banuelos is lobbing in some pitches to finish off this one at CHS field. But then also reaches back for one at 76 MPH. Ump is missing some calls on his lobs.

Marco Raya done after 33 pitches (only 14 strikes) and just two outs in the fifth inning. 3 ER on 2 H and 3 BB. 2 K's.

Marco Raya serves up a 3-run homer and the Clippers are up 9-1 over the Saints in the fifth.

Rain Delay for Cedar Rapids Kernels in Dayton, but they had taken a 12-10 lead beforehand.

Cole Sands with a scoreless inning, allows a leadoff single but retires the next three. Walker Jenkins caught the final out at the wall in center, fell into the wall a bit with his glove shoulder...

Noah Cardenas gets the Saints on the board with a solo homer to make it 6-1.

The Kernels have clubbed four homers as a team on the road in Dayton, but are in a shootout with the Dragons, who lead 10-9 in the sixth.

Rehabbers Marco Raya and Cole Sands are scheduled to pitch in this one, but the Saints are already down 6-0 heading to the bottom of the third inning.

The Cedar Rapids Kernels put together a 2-out rally in the top of the second to take a 6-0 lead. Dameury Pena with a little league homer (triple and error), then legit 2-run shots from Graham Brown and Eduardo Tait.

@RepPeteStauber With absolutely zero respect, Mr. Stauber: YOU VOTED AGAINST THIS BILL.

It was a pleasure to be in Silver Bay to celebrate the $1,640,000 in funding I helped secure to upgrade the water treatment facility. Ensuring communities across the Northland have access to clean and reliable drinking water has been a priority of mine since arriving in Congress, and I am proud to deliver!

Marek Houston wasted no time on Tuesday night, and his Wichita teammates followed in his surging footsteps. twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/tw…
