Blewett has made two appearances for the Saints this season, allowing three runs on three hits across 2.1 innings, with two walks and three strikeouts. During Twins major league spring training, he compiled a 2.79 ERA (9.2 innings, 3 earned runs) in eight games (one start), striking out seven and walking three, before being reassigned to minor league camp on March 25.
