GAME RECAP

IMPACT PLAYER

Kenta Maeda, Twins

Eight strikeouts and 5⅓ shutout innings give the Twins hope that their Opening Day starter has righted himself.

By the numbers

6 Extra-base hits by Alex Kirilloff over the past four games, including two doubles on Monday.

3 Steals in the past five games by Byron Buxton, who has yet to be caught this season.

88.0 Buxton's career stolen-base success rate, best in MLB history among players with at least 66 steals, as he has.

Up next

Kyle Gibson, who owns more wins in Target Field than any pitcher, makes his first appearance as a visitor.
