Woodruff

The Minnesota Twins’ pitching staff shut down Milwaukee’s offense on Thursday night, leading the way to a 7-1 win. Jose Berrios picked up the win, while Brandon Woodruff took the loss. Poor Pitching, and Poorer Hitting In the rubber match of the series, the Brewers sent Brandon Woodruff to the mound, hoping to stifle the Twins’ hot lineup. Unfortunately, that was not the case, as Woodruff would allow two runs in his five inning start, along with nine hits and only three strikeouts. Woody would give up both of his runs before the Brewers scored in the game, an occurrence…

Jorge Alcala earns the win, while David Phelps takes the loss. Great Starts from Maeda, Burnes Starting pitchers Kenta Maeda and Corbin Burnes each had what is arguably their best starts of the seasons last night. Maeda was especially dominant, carrying a no-hitter into the ninth inning. He would lose it on an Eric Sogard single, but not before striking out 12. Those 12 strikeouts included a string of eight consecutive strikeouts over…
