IMPACT PLAYER

Carlos Rodon, White Sox

The lefthander extended the Twins' misery by pitching six shutout innings before giving way to the bullpen.

BY THE NUMBERS

5: Walks issued by Rodon, but the Twins weren't able to take advantage of them.

7: Strikeouts for Phil Hughes, a tough-luck loser after he pitched into the seventh inning.

.393: Joe Mauer's batting average after he went 2-for-4, but no one else on the Twins besides Eduardo Escobar is hitting over .200.

ON DECK

The Twins will attempt to avoid falling to 0-9 with Ervin Santana making his third start of the season.
