The Minnesota Twins showcased a powerful offense during their recent game against the Seattle Mariners, scoring 10 runs and securing a 10-1 victory. The highlight was an impressive eight-run sixth inning, marking the most runs scored in an inning by the Twins in over two years. After a lengthy rain delay, the team's offensive surge began with Trevor Larnach's two-run homer, followed by a series of successful hits, including Carlos Correa's two-run single and Matt Wallner's two-run blast.

Simeon Woods Richardson led the pitching effort with five shutout innings, allowing just two hits and one walk. This performance was crucial in helping the Twins salvage a split in their four-game series with the Mariners. Despite having the worst ERA in the majors this month, the Twins' pitching staff nearly achieved a shutout. The team finished the first half of the season with a 39-42 record, reflective of their inconsistent performance characterized by a 13-game winning streak in May followed by several losing streaks. Nonetheless, they remain in contention for a wild-card spot in the competitive American League.

Week 13 of fantasy baseball brings some intriguing waiver wire additions, spotlighting players who are performing well despite low ownership rates. Jordan Beck from the Colorado Rockies has significantly improved, raising his slash line and showcasing power and speed. Nolan Schanuel of the Los Angeles Angels is also making a name as a corner infielder with career-high numbers. Meanwhile, Brooks Lee, another Minnesota Twins player, is exhibiting a remarkable batting surge that might not last, and Parker Meadows from the Detroit Tigers is showing promise after a slow start. Lastly, Matt Wallner is returning from injury and could be a valuable asset with his power potential.

Jacob Misiorowski made history on Friday, throwing six perfect innings in his second MLB start, reaching 11 consecutive hitless frames to begin his career, the longest for any starter since 1900. Despite a seventh-inning walk to Byron Buxton and a home run by Matt Wallner that broke the no-hit streak, Misiorowski left the game to a standing ovation with the Brewers leading 8-2. He ultimately secured a win in an impressive 17-6 victory over the Minnesota Twins.

This young pitcher, who previously threw five no-hit innings against the St. Louis Cardinals, is now the only pitcher in the modern era with more wins (two) than hits allowed (one) after two starts. His fastball reached an astonishing 102.1 mph, and he struck out six batters, showcasing versatility with his pitch mix, including a curveball and a slider. Manager Pat Murphy praised Misiorowski's improved command compared to his first outing, indicating a bright future for the rookie.

In a thrilling contest, George Springer propelled the Toronto Blue Jays to a 5-4 victory over the Minnesota Twins with a go-ahead two-run homer in the eighth inning. The blast marked Springer's 10th home run this season and came after a leadoff double from Addison Barger, who ignited the rally. Vladimir Guerrero Jr. added an insurance run with a two-out RBI single in the ninth off Twins closer Jhoan Durán.

Chad Green earned the win after pitching a scoreless seventh inning, while Jeff Hoffman recorded his 15th save despite allowing a solo homer in the ninth to Kody Clemens. The Twins had taken a brief lead in the sixth inning with a home run from Matt Wallner, who continued his strong play with his second homer in three days. Both teams had their share of missed opportunities, highlighted by the Twins' failure to capitalize with the bases loaded in the seventh.

Matt Wallner stands out as a prime waiver wire target for fantasy baseball managers in Week 10, especially for teams seeking a power boost. Having recently returned from a minor league rehab assignment, Wallner showcased his potential by homering in three consecutive games and accumulating five homers over six games. In his comeback match against the Seattle Mariners, he immediately made an impact with a two-run homer.

Before his injury, Wallner had been performing admirably with a .263/.373/.474 slash line, including five doubles and two triples in just 18 games. His impressive second half in 2024, where he maintained a .272/.376/.538 line with 10 homers, lends weight to his current form. With a favorable matchup against five right-handed pitchers looming, including games at Sutter Health Park, his offensive upside makes him a valuable addition for fantasy contenders looking to capitalize on his recent hot streak.
