Festa did not factor into the decision Sunday, allowing two runs on three hits and three walks over 3.2 innings against the Reds. He struck out four.
Festa held the Reds to just a walk and a hit-by-pitch through three innings but ran into trouble in the fourth, allowing three consecutive hits that led to two runs to start the inning, then loading the bases with a couple of walks that led to him being pulled prior to the end of the inning. It was the second consecutive start in which Festa walked three while failing to make it into the fifth inning. Through 55 innings spanning 12 appearances (11 starts), Festa holds a 5.07 ERA and 1.27 WHIP with an impressive 66 strikeouts. His next turn is set to take place when the Twins travel to Boston to take on the Red Sox.
