Wade, Jay among Twins' AFL standouts

A quartet of Twins prospects stood out during their Arizona Fall League debuts on Tuesday with the Surprise Saguaros, who lost their season-opener to Salt River, 4-3.

Left-handers Tyler Jay and Andrew Vasquez both struck out a pair in scoreless frames, while outfielder LaMonte Wade went 1-for-3 with a double, and first baseman Chris Paul went 3-for-4 with two RBIs out of the cleanup spot.

Jay, Minnesota's No. 8 prospect, per MLBPipeline.com, worked a 1-2-3 seventh and got both of his punchouts on called third strikes. The 23-year-old was the sixth overall pick by Minnesota in the 2015 Draft out of the University of Illinois.
