2024 At A Glance

LAST TIME OUT: The Saints used a five-run second inning to take the

early lead and got solid pitching in a 5-2 victory to open the Gwinnett

series on Tuesday. The second inning began with two walks before

Patrick Winkel smacked a two-run double to the left field corner. Three

batters later, Brooks Lee crushed three-run home run to right field, giving

the Saints a 5-0 lead. Randy Dobnak fired 5.0 innings of one-run

baseball, picking up his seventh win of the season. Ronny Henriquez

struck out five in 2.0 innings of relief, allowing one run. Jeff Brigham and

Nick Wittgren each allowed two baserunners, but no runs scored as the

Saints scored their seventh consecutive win over Gwinnett.

TRAFFIC CONTROL: When Caleb Boushley has allowed runners to

reach base, he has minimized the damage. Boushley has yet to walk a

batter with runners on base this season, with the Saints or the Minnesota

Twins. The right-hander has completed 32.0 total innings, facing 116

batters with runners on without issuing a free pass, the most in all of

baseball (Majors or minors). Boushley enters today's start the league-

leader in WHIP (1.06), tied for the lead in wins (eight) and third in ERA

(3.48).

PUT IT ON THE MANTLE: The Saints collected another league-wide

honor on Wednesday, as Matt Wallner was named the International

League Player of the Month for June. Wallner hit .324/.403/.724 in 26

June games. He led the International League in extra-base hits (18),

home runs (12), RBI (28), slugging percentage, total bases (76) and runs

(27). He was tied for second in hits (34) with Yunior Severino and

finished third with a 1.127 June OPS. Wallner's 12 home runs in June

are the most for any Triple-A player in any month this season and tied for

the most for any IL batter in any month since 2021. Wallner is the 18th IL

batter since 2021 to hit 10 home runs in a month and just the second

Saint to accomplish the feat, joining Chris Williams, who hit 10 home

runs in June of 2023.

Wallner is also closing in on the Saints' single-season home run

record, hitting 19 long balls this season. He is currently tied for the

fourth-most in a single season with Jimmy Kerrigan (2021). He trails:

Brent Rooker (20, 2021), along with Jair Camrgo and Chris Williams

(21, 2023)

STRIPERS FOR SEVEN: By winning the first game of the series against

Gwinnett on Tuesday, the Saints have taken the first seven games of the

series in franchise history. It ties the longest winning streak to open a

series and the longest winning streak against one team at any point in

franchise history, matching the first seven games the Saints beat

Rochester from June 7, 2022 to April 25, 2023.

THE FUTURE IS NOW: Major League Baseball announced the rosters

for the All-Star Futures Game on July 13 at Globe Life Field in Arlington,

TX on Tuesday. Brooks Lee was named the Twins representative to

participate in the showcase event. Lee is the third Saint to be selected,

joining Josh Winder (2021) and Spencer Steer (2022). Lee will also

participate in the Skills Challenge afterward; a three-round hitting

competition that will display prospect's control and power. Lee is ranked

as the Twins' #2 prospect by MLB Pipeline and the 13th -best prospect in

baseball.

EXTRA! EXTRA! (BASES): The Saints have managed an extra-base hit

in every game dating back to April 23, a streak of 61 consecutive games.

That is the third-longest stretch in franchise history, trailing last year's 67-

game streak from April 20-July 6. The franchise record is a 96-game

streak from April 15-August 7, 2022, the second-longest streak in the IL

since 2021. The club's 96-game streak in 2022 and 67-game streak in

2023 were both the longest in the league in their respective seasons.

The current 61-game stretch is the second-longest in the IL this year,

trailing Omaha's active 76-game streak, dating back to April 4.

SUMMERTIME SEVERINO: In Yunior Severino's 31 games since May

21, he has hit .391 (45-for-115), with nine home runs, drawing 26 walks

to 31 strikeouts, owning a 1.155 OPS. Since June 1, Severino leads the

IL in batting average (.425), on-base percentage, sporting a .544 clip,

and OPS, at 1.232, ranking fourth in slugging percentage at .688. His 21

walks since the start of June are the the fourth-most in the league.

Severino just finished one of the best months a for a Saints hitter in

franchise history. Severino's .425 June batting average is the highest

for any Saints player (min. 35 PA's) in any month dating back to

2021. His .544 on-base percentage is the highest and just the fourth

Saints hitter to have a .500 OBP or better in a month. His 1.267

OPS is also the fifth-highest for any month. He's also just the eighth

player to register a 30-hit month in franchise history.

TWINS UPDATE: The Twins took the first game of the series against

Detroit, beating the Tigers 5-3. After falling behind 3-2 in the fifth inning,

Manuel Margot tied the game with a solo home run. The Twins then

scored on a fielder's choice in the seventh and Carlos Correa hit a solo

homer in the eighth to make it 5-3. Simeon Woods Richardson took a no-

decision, working 5.2 innings of three-run baseball.

Keirsey Jr. hit a solo home run with one out in the seventh...took second loss

and first since April 9, also against Iowa, in an 8-1 Saints defeat.

season-high with 7.0 innings pitched, allowing just three hits and striking out

five...marks the Saints' second start this year of 7.0 innings without allowing

WORLD SERIES RUNNER-UP: Caleb spent his college years not far from

home at the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse. As a freshman, he got to

experience something that not many players get the opportunity to experience:

a trip to the College World Series. His DIII squad reached the championship

after beating Salisbury, 7-3, Emory, 3-2 in 12, losing the first game of the semifinals

to Trinity(TX), 16-7, but bouncing back to win the second game, 10-7.

Unfortunately, they met their match in the championship dropping the best-of-three

to Cortland, getting swept 11-3 and 6-2. He would get back to the DIII World

Series in 2016, but this was less successful losing 8-0 to Trinity, beating Emory,

12-3 before being eliminated by the team they lost to in the 2015 DIII Championship

Game, Cortland, 8-3.

SOMETHINGS BREWING: One can't help where they grow up which can

determine who you root for growing up. Caleb was born in Neenah, WI and

resides in Madison, WI, so naturally he rooted for the Milwaukee Brewers. His

hometown team came calling in the Minor League phase of the Rule 5 Draft in

2021, taking Caleb with the 22nd pick overall from the San Diego Padres. The

storybook had an incredible ending when he was called up to the Brewers on

September 29, 2023. He pitched 2.1 innings of relief vs. Chicago Cubs and

allowed one run on one hit while walking two and striking out five. He earned

the win in his lone Major League appearance.

GIVE BACK: Each of the Major League team's usually choose a player or

players within their organization for the hard work they put towards the community.

In 2023, the Brewers selected Caleb as the Nashville Sounds Community Player

of the Year.
