The Twins have traded first baseman Tyler Austin to the San Francisco Giants in exchange for minor league outfielder Malique Ziegler. Austin was designated for assignment Saturday when the Twins added pitcher Chase DeJong to the 25-man roster.
The Twins beat the Phillies 6-2 in Philadelphia Saturday. Minnesota jumped out to a 3-nothing lead in the 3rd inning. Byron Buxton scored on a Jake Arrieta wild pitch before Max Kepler and Willian Astudillo hit back to back home runs.
