Minnesota native Matt Wallner homers in MLB debut; Twins lose to Cleveland

  • by

The Twins fell 5-1 to the Cleveland Guardians in the first game of Saturday’s doubleheader. It’s a killer loss for the Twins as they are now six games behind Cleveland for first place in the AL Central.

But as the Twins’ playoff hopes are quickly dying, Matt Wallner’s professional baseball career is just coming to life. Saturday was his major league debut and it’ll be a memorable one as his first career hit was a solo home run off former Cy Young winner Shane Bieber in the eighth inning.
