Right-hander Taj Bradley became the second of the Minnesota Twins’ pitchers acquired at the MLB trade deadline to post a strong organizational debut.
Bradley — like Mick Abel last weekend — couldn’t push the St. Paul Saints to a victory. St. Paul lost 7-4 at home to Iowa on Wednesday.
But Bradley, who had plenty of major league experience with Tampa Bay and was traded for reliever Griffin Jax, allowed just one run in six innings. He gave up five hits and walked none, while striking out four. He faced the minimum through his first four innings.
However, the game was 1-1 when Bradley left after throwing 73 pitches, 47 for strikes. Brooklyn Park native John Klein then made his Triple-A debut and gave up six runs on five hits and two walks in 2/3 of an inning.
Noah Cardenas hit a three-run homer in the bottom of the ninth inning.
