Bergman (3-3) gave up two runs (one earned) on four hits and two walks over five innings in Thursday's 2-1 loss to the Twins. He struck out six.
The young right-hander continues to impress, with Thursday's outing standing as his third consecutive start in which he gave up two runs or less. That stretch followed his only disastrous start of the season, an outing in which he gave up 10 earned runs over four innings against the Nationals. Bergman has lowered his ERA from 6.30 to 4.03 since that appearance and has been missing more bats as of late, notching 13 swinging strikes over his five frames against the Twins and racking up six strikeouts for a second straight start. He'll look to keep his impressive performances going in a rematch with Minnesota at Target Field next Tuesday.
