The righthander helped hold an offense averaging nearly seven runs on the home-stand to only five singles

BY THE NUMBERS

5 Hits by the Twins, after collecting 32 the past two games.

4+ Seasons since the Twins have been three games above .500 (2010).

6 Consecutive games with a hit by Torii Hunter.

29 Major league teams that had six-game winning streaks since 2011. The Twins fell short of joining that group.
