GAME RECAP
IMPACT PLAYER
Mike Fiers, Houston
No, it wasn't an encore no-hitter, but holding the Twins to three hits over six-plus innings wasn't a bad follow-up.
BY THE NUMBERS
20 Consecutive innings with no more than one hit by the Twins, a streak broken in the eighth inning.
5â…“ Scoreless innings pitched by the Twins Saturday, bringing their streak to 14â…” innings.
7.40 Mike Pelfrey's ERA in his eight losses (it's 1.05 in his six victories).
ON DECK
The Twins will try to win their third series in a row, but it will likely take a strong performance by slumping Ervin Santana.
