Walker Jenkins carried the boy to the dugout, where medics treated him, as the Saints beat Buffalo 12-6.
- On Tuesday, Minnesota Twins prospect Walker Jenkins rescued a young fan who began to faint during the national anthem at CHS Field. Jenkins, playing for the St. Paul Saints, carried the boy to the dugout for medical assistance.

- Known as "Captain America," Jenkins lived up to his nickname by performing well on the field later that day. He went 3-for-5 with three runs scored, leading the Saints to a 12-6 victory over the Buffalo Bisons.
