Walker Jenkins is known for his clutch hitting, but he can now add a big save to his stats. Jenkins is the top prospect for the Minnesota Twins, playing for their Triple-A affiliate, the St. Paul Saints. He came to the aid of a boy who started to collapse during the national anthem before the t eam’s home game against the Buffalo Bisons on Tuesday. Children stood on the field alongside Saints players as the song played. The team posted a video on X, showing the boy, identified as Lincoln, swaying side to side between Jenkins and fellow outfielder Matt Wallner. When Lincoln started to stumble, Jenkins grabbed the child and carried him to the team’s dugout, where he was handed to head athletic trainer Chase Thompson. “Not all heroes wear capes. Some wear a #23 Saints jersey. We are happy to share Lincoln is doing well, and even got some new merch,” the team wrote, while also posting a picture of him wearing a T-shirt with Jenkins’ number on it. The fifth overall pick in the 2023 Major League Baseball Draft, Jenkins, whose nickname is “Captain America,” ended up having a heroic day at the plate, as well. He went 3-for-5 with a triple, a double, one RBI, three runs scored and a stolen base to help the Saints win, 12-6. The boy’s fainting spell comes as a good portion of the country deals with a heat wave, with forecasters saying multiple cities from Nashville to Detroit to Bangor, Maine, could experience record high temperatures during the holiday weekend.
