Pipeline preview: Twins' Gonsalves toes the rubber

Swanson, No. 6 on the Top 100, was promoted to Double-A over the weekend, and he made an immediate impact in his debut by hitting a go-ahead two-run home run to power Mississippi past Jacksonville, 3-2. The 2015 No. 1 overall Draft pick has been on a tear to begin his first full professional season, hitting .341/.446/.565 with 15 extra-base hits, seven steals and more walks (15) than strikeouts (13) in 23 games between Class A Advanced Carolina and Mississippi. On Monday, Swanson will look to extend his hitting streak to six games when Mississippi takes on Jacksonville at 7:05 p.
