3 Hits against the Twins bullpen in the final six innings; two of those came against Jhoan Duran in the ninth inning, resulting in Oakland's lone run after Kenta Maeda departed.
17 League-high double-play grounders hit into by Carlos Correa.
The righthander impressed when given an opportunity late last season, with a 1.77 ERA in 20⅓ major league innings.
