The Twins called up first baseman Jose Miranda from Triple A affiliate St. Paul Saints earlier this week. While the No. 93 prospect in MLB has just started his career in the majors, he already has one celebrity supporter.
Miranda is the cousin of actor and playwright Lin-Manuel Miranda. The Broadway legend congratulated his cousin on his Major League debut on Monday, in which he went 0-for-4 at the plate vs. the Orioles.
On Tuesday, Miranda clocked his first MLB hit with a double off of Bruce Zimmerman and picked up his first RBI as Gio Urshela ran home.
