The 17 runs were the most for a Class AAA team in 2021.
Telis went 4-for-6 as the Saints piled up 14 hits. He hit a three-run homer in the second inning; Riddle hit a three-run homer to give St.Paul a 10-0 lead in the fourth; Jeffers hit a three-run shot in the seventh for his fourth home run with the Saints; and Rooker hit his fourth as well with a two-run blast in the ninth. Leadoff hitter Tzu-Wei Lin scored four times.
Bailey Ober gave up one run on four hits and no walks in five innings for the Saints, striking out five.
Minnesota baseball followers in search of depression can start with the best characters the Twins had going for them:
• Byron Buxton was producing and playing center field in such astounding fashion that I was looking up Willie Mays numbers for the 35 games he played for the Minneapolis Millers in 1951. Those were .477 batting average, eight home runs and 30 RBI, meaning Buxton was 100 points shy of Willie, but already had him in homers.
On Tuesday at Target Field, Buxton smacked No. 9 above the bullpen in left center. By Thursday, he was injured again this time, a hip blip that showed up running to first and will miss weeks.
