After 16 hits Wednesday, the @CRKernels came back with 17 more in the win on Thursday. It's the second straight July the Kernels have posted back-to-back games of 16 or more hits (7/5/24 and 7/6/24 vs QC), something they hadn't previously done in two consecutive games since 2013.

DANNY TREY ANDRADE. Another triple today brings Danny De Andrade to a MWL-high seven triples on the year. In 75 games, De Andrade is only the third Kernel to record seven triples in a season since the @CRKernels moved to high-A in 2021 and first since Emmanuel Rodriguez in 2023.

Cedar Rapids walks off Peoria 7-6 in 10 innings tonight in a game the Kernels were out-hit 12-4. It's the first time the @CRKernels have won a game in which they were out-hit by eight or more since May 14, 2013, against Burlington. #MNTwins

Tied for the team-high in home runs in 2024. League leader with a .457 OBP to go along with a .331/.457./.453 slash line good for a .910 OPS and 3 HR in 45 games to begin 2025. A much-deserved call-up for on-base Nate Baez.

Big nights and big seasons for two #MNTwins 17th rd picks. Jay Thomason homers in his first A+ start. Has a 1.038 OPS and 8 HR across two levels. Kade Bragg gets the win to go to 2-0 in A+. Has a 2.83 ERA in 35 IP as a pro. Best @Twins 17th rd pick all time? Kent Hrbek, 1978.

Kaelen Culpepper leads off both games of today's doubleheader in Wisconsin with home runs. A feat that's only been done four times in MLB, accomplished last by Ronald Acuna Jr. in 2018. @TwinsPlayerDev | #MNTwins.

With great players, sometimes things just work out.

RHP Chase Chaney earned his third quality start in five outings with the Kernels in a win at Fort Wayne tonight. He used 103 pitches to go six innings in the victory, becoming the first @CRKernels pitcher to throw more than 100 pitches in a game since CR moved to high-A in 2021.

So this is the place, huh? . The @CRKernels visit Fort Wayne for the first time since the @Jack_McMullen11 era and for the first time without @John_G_Nolan since the @MikeCouzens era. #Cuse. Join us for first pitch at 6:00 CDT:

Carson McCusker was ready to retire from baseball if he wasn't signed into affiliated ball by 2024. One #MNTwins contract, a Midwest League championship, and 43 MiLB home runs later, he's a major leaguer.
