Survives long balls for third win Smeltzer (3-0) picked up the win in Friday's 9-4 victory over the Rays, giving up three runs on four hits and three walks over six-plus innings. He struck out three.

Impact All three runs off Smeltzer came on a trio of solo shots, with two of them coming back-to-back to lead off the seventh inning, but the Twins had already built a 7-1 lead at that point. The quality start was the third in six outings for the southpaw, and Smeltzer sports a 2.38 ERA and 0.97 WHIP despite a poor 12.5 percent strikeout rate through 34 innings.

Yields two runs Smeltzer allowed two runs on four hits and two walks over four innings in Sunday's win over the Blue Jays. He struck out one and did not factor in the decision.

Impact Smeltzer got off to a poor start when George Springer launched a leadoff shot against him. The 26-year-old southpaw then kept Toronto off the board until Alejandro Kirk's solo homer in the fourth. Sunday's outing was the shortest of the year for Smeltzer and it was the first time he'd allowed a home run. He's now sporting a 1.93 ERA with a 13:6 K:BB through five starts. Smeltzer is projected to face the Rays at home next week.

Impact The soft-tossing southpaw got staked to a 6-0 lead before Detroit finally got a run across against him in the fourth inning, as Smeltzer cruised to his second straight quality start. He'll take a 1.50 ERA and 12:4 K:BB through 24 innings into his next outing as he tries to secure a permanent spot in the Twins' rotation.

Receiving another start Smeltzer is scheduled to start the first game of Tuesday's doubleheader in Detroit, Phil Miller of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.

Impact Smeltzer will be making his fourth start of the season with the big club and his second straight turn through the Minnesota rotation after he struck out six over seven scoreless innings Thursday against the Royals following his call-up from Triple-A St. Paul. The Twins could get Joe Ryan (illness) back from the COVID-19 injured list as soon as Tuesday, but with Sonny Gray (pectoral) exiting early in his start Sunday against Kansas City, Smeltzer may have an opportunity to stick around in the rotation beyond his upcoming outing in Detroit.

Let down by bullpen Thursday Smeltzer did not factor in the decision against Kansas City on Thursday despite pitching seven scoreless innings during which he allowed two hits and one walk while striking out si...

Impact Smeltzer was dominant and efficient in his seven frames, throwing just 80 pitches and preventing any runners from reach second base. He was in line for the win upon his departure but had to settle for a no-decision after Tyler Duffey surrendered three eighth-inning runs to take the loss. This was Smeltzer's third start of the campaign, and he has allowed a combined two runs over 17.1 innings for a sparkling 1.04 ERA. He's currently up in place of Joe Ryan (COVID-19), but it wouldn't be surprising if Minnesota finds a way to keep him in the rotation based on how well he's pitched so far.
