ST. PAUL, MN - Drew Maggi did something during the week of June 29-July 4 that no other player in the 29-year history of the St. Paul Saints franchise (Independent & Triple-A) had ever accomplished. In four consecutive games he hammered baseballs over the wall at CHS Field, surpassing the three consecutive games achieved by 24 other players. His incredible week earned him the MiLB.com Triple-A East Week Player of the Week.

The 32-year-old Maggi went 9-21 (.429) with two doubles, four home runs, five RBI, and scored seven runs in five games. The four consecutive games with a home run (July 1-4) is a career high, besting his back-to-back games with a home run on June 7-8, 2019 while with the Minnesota Twins Triple-A affiliate in Rochester. He also has an RBI in four straight which ties a career high from August 27-30, 2011 while with Single-A West Virginia in the Pittsburgh Pirates organization.

Maggi was a 15th round selection by the Pirates in 2010 out of Arizona State University and was acquired by the Twins on January 15, 2019 as a minor league free agent.
