Three singles over seven innings enabled the All-Star to collect first victory since Aug. 4 and finish the season with a winning record.

GAME 2 IMPACT PLAYER

Mitch Garver, Twins

Quite a return from a concussion for the rookie: four hits and six RBI, all in the first five innings.

BY THE NUMBERS

16 Consecutive doubleheaders split or lost by the Twins, dating back to 2014, until Friday's sweep.

16 RBI by rookie catcher Willians Astudillo in his past 15 games.

6 Consecutive games with a run scored by Joe Mauer, his longest streak since May 19-25, 2015.
