Duran gave up a hit in a scoreless ninth inning Friday to record his 19th save of the season in a 2-0 win over the Blue Jays.

A leadoff single got erased on a game-ending double play, and Duran generated plenty of weak contact while firing eight straight pitches at 100 mph or over to begin the frame. The Twins' closer is prone to occasional lapses and was scored upon four times in 11 August appearances, but he also posted a 15:1 K:BB in 9.2 innings on the month.
