Bounces back in second win Festa (2-2) earned the win Friday against the Tigers, giving up two hits in 5.2 scoreless innings. He struck out six without walking a batter.

Impact It was an encouraging performance by the 28-year-old right-hander, who was peppered for eight runs on 12 hits his last time out. Friday marked the first time this year that he didn't issue a free pass, and it was also Festa's first scoreless outing of at least five frames so far. Festa will aim to build on this showing in his next scheduled appearance against the Marlins, as he still holds a rough 5.40 ERA, 1.42 WHIP and 38:15 K:BB over 36.2 innings.

Hit hard in bulk role Festa (1-2) took the loss Sunday against the Brewers, allowing eight runs on 12 hits and three walks over 4.2 innings. He struck out three.

Impact It was a rough day for Festa, who made his first appearance behind an opener this season. He gave up a solo home run to Rhys Hoskins, the first batter he faced, in the second inning before Brice Turang added on with a three-run blast in the fifth. Festa's ERA sits at 10.00 over his last four outings (18 innings). Overall, his ERA is up to 6.39 this season with a 1.61 WHIP and 32 strikeouts across 31 innings.

Not starting, could follow opener Festa won't start Sunday's game against the Brewers but could pitch behind opening pitcher Danny Coulombe, Audra Martin of Fanduel Sports Network North reports.

Impact Festa was initially penciled in to start Sunday and hasn't been reported to be dealing with an injury, so he's the likely candidate to work in a bulk-relief role. The right-hander has worked as a traditional starter in his six previous MLB outings this season and has posted a 4.78 ERA, 1.33 WHIP and 29:12 K:BB across 26.1 innings.

Yanked in fourth inning Festa didn't factor into the decision Tuesday against the Reds, allowing four runs (two earned) on two hits and three walks with four strikeouts over 3.2 innings.

Impact Festa joined the Twins rotation in early June after Pablo Lopez (shoulder) was placed on the injured list. He's failed to complete four innings in two of three starts since and has allowed 12 earned runs with a 14:7 K:BB spanning 13.1 innings. In six starts this season, he has a 4.78 ERA in 26.1 innings. He's scheduled to make another turn in the rotation Sunday against Milwaukee.

Gets into win column Wednesday Festa (1-1) earned the win over Texas on Wednesday, allowing two runs on three hits and two walks while striking out four batters over six innings.

Impact Festa finally picked up a victory in his fifth start of the season and also notched his first quality start. In fact, Wednesday marked the first time over his five outings that the right-hander has completed more than 4.2 frames. It was certainly a promising turnaround after Festa surrendered eight runs across 3.2 innings against the A's in his previous start. Festa has an opportunity to lock down a rotation spot with Pablo Lopez (shoulder) and Zebby Matthews (shoulder) both out for an extended period, and Festa's performance Wednesday could go a long way toward achieving that goal. He'll try to take another positive step the next time he takes the mound, which tentatively lines up to be on the road against Cincinnati.
