He was 0-for-9 and didn't hit the ball out of the infield as the Twins lost 5-2 in Game 1 and 6-3 in Game 2.
Revere has started 41 consecutive games since June 2, as the Twins have gone 27-14. According to Baseball-Reference.com, Revere has failed to reach base, even by error, just seven times in that stretch.
The only other time it's happened in back-to-back games was June 18-19 against San Diego.
Entering the doubleheader, Revere had scored 15 runs in the Twins' previous 16 games.
"It was a long, hot day, but I think we're all going to be energized to get 'em tomorrow," Revere said.
The Twin Cities await major leaguers and minor leaguers both, families and athletes melding professional and personal lives.
