For all the Twins’ problems with Corey Kluber this week, they reached base nine times in 7 innings against Carrasco. The complete game was the seventh of Kluber’s career and fourth this season.

Now perhaps you’re of the opinion that a one-hitter is really just a game in which a pitcher nearly did something historic, only to narrowly fail.
The 24-year-old righty struck out seven and worked around five walks.
“Anyone who says they aren’t aware [of a no-hitter] isn’t paying attention to the game or they don’t want to see it”, said Duffey, who received polite applause from the announced crowd of 30,601 at Target Field after Lindor’s hit.
Dozier connected as well, hammering a Bryan Shaw cutter for a two-run homer in the eighth.
“I don’t know if we adjusted very well from last game, kind of fell into the same pattern a little bit”, Minnesota manager Paul Molitor said. May was pulled after just three innings, and the Tribe added another run in the fourth on a Mike Aviles RBI single. His ERA of 4.35 quickly drops to 2.83 once one removes the seven starts in which he has allowed five or more earned runs.
Then, during his bullpen session on Tuesday, Hughes had to end it early due to discomfort in his back. “Cleveland”s only run scored in the second inning, when Ryan Raburn doubled, advance to third on a Giovanny Urshela sacrifice bunt, and scored on an Abraham Almonte sacrifice fly. Rosario has an outfield assist in three straight games. “That’s encouraging. I’ll take my routine out there and try to improve my next start”. Tomlin is returning to the Major League club for the first time since he underwent shoulder surgery on April 8.
Tyler Duffey’s first major-league start on August 5 in Toronto lasted two innings.
One small slip in mechanics was enough to foil another strong start for Carlos Carrasco and the Cleveland Indians. 2B Jason Kipnis (shoulder) is eligible to come off the DL on Monday, although Francona said he didn’t know if he would be activated immediately….

Minnesota Twins starting pitcher Phil Hughes has been sent do the 15-day disabled list with apparent lower-back pain. 228 against him. Duffey debuted against the Blue Jays last week and gave up six runs in two innings.
