Jack Anderson - Picks up first save Anderson earned the save in Thursday's 3-1 win over the Guardians in extra innings. He logged a walk and a strikeout in a scoreless inning.

Impact After the bulk of Minnesota's high-leverage arms pitched earlier in the contest, it was Anderson who got the call to protect a two-run lead in the 12th inning in just his fifth major-league appearance and second with the Twins. The 26-year-old right-hander got the job done, stranding the free runner on second base while working around a two-out walk to earn the save. Overall, Anderson has allowed three runs on eight hits and three walks while striking out eight across 10.1 innings this season between Minnesota and Boston.

Gavin Williams - Dominant vs. Minnesota Williams did not factor into the decision Thursday against the Twins, allowing just two hits over seven scoreless innings. He struck out 11.

Impact While Cleveland failed to provide Williams with any run support, the right-hander turned in a stellar performance Thursday, as he logged 11 strikeouts for a third straight start and fifth time overall this season. The highlight of Williams' day was his immaculate inning in the fourth, when he struck out Byron Buxton, Ryan Jeffers and Josh Bell on nine pitches. Williams lowered his ERA to 3.78 across 21 starts (126.1 innings) this year with a 1.10 WHIP and 156:37 K:BB. He'll look to keep rolling in his next outing, tentatively lined up to come next week in Cincinnati.
