The starting pitcher was perfect through four innings and held the Twins hitless into the eighth inning, allowing just one hit and two walks with five strikeouts.
By the numbers
4 The number of Twins pitchers who have left the mound with an injury midgame, including Danny Coulombe on Tuesday, all in the past 32 days.
7 Consecutive games in which Houston shortstop Jeremy Pena has recorded at least a hit.
Twins shortstop Carlos Correa is arguably their best player and easily their most expensive one. He’s frequently injured and a payroll-strapped team is up for sale. It feels like the Twins can’t afford to keep Correa, but the same is true of losing him.
