Twins starter Tyler Duffey (5-1) surrendered eight hits, two earned runs and a walk over six innings in Saturday's 6-2 victory over the Tigers. He struck out three.
That's four consecutive quality starts for the young right-hander, who has shown considerable promise over the first nine appearances of his career. Duffey has given up only five earned runs over the 26 innings that his most recent four efforts have spanned, good for an impressive 1.73 ERA.
He also has posted an impressive 25:5 K:BB ratio during that period and has not surrendered a homer in any of his five September starts. Duffey will have one more opportunity this season to continue to build on the momentum he has already built towards the 2016 campaign.
