Woo (13-7) earned the win Monday, allowing two runs on three hits and no walks over six innings in a 4-2 victory over St. Louis. He struck out nine.

Woo delivered six strong innings Monday, halting a brief two-start stretch of shorter outings after previously going six-plus in each of his first 25 starts. The right-hander has been one of MLB's most reliable arms this season, compiling a 3.02 ERA and 0.95 WHIP across 175.2 innings in 28 starts. While not overpowering with strikeouts (9.1 K/9), his nine punchouts Monday tied a season high, and his elite command (1.7 BB/9) continues to fuel his consistency.

Keaschall went 3-for-6 with two RBI, a run scored and a stolen base in Monday's 12-3 victory over the Angels.

Keaschall kept producing Monday, turning in the third three-hit effort of his young career. The rookie second baseman has taken full advantage of his opportunities in the majors, batting .329/.409/.486 with an .895 OPS, 10 doubles, four homers and 24 RBI through 37 contests. While it's been a difficult year for the Twins as a whole, Keaschall has stood out as one of the bright spots and a player the franchise can be excited about moving forward.

Lewis went 2-for-5 with a pair of two-run homers in Monday's win over the Angels.

Lewis delivered a big night Monday, clubbing two home runs for his second multi-homer game of the year and first since July 20. It's been a challenging season overall for the 26-year-old, as injuries have limited both his availability and effectiveness. Through 88 games, the third baseman is slashing .237/.293/.406 with 16 doubles, 12 home runs, seven steals, 44 RBI and 33 runs.

Woods Richardson (6-4) earned the win Monday, allowing three runs on five hits and a walk over five innings against the Angels. He struck out six.

Woods Richardson battled through a rough second inning in which he gave up three runs but still came away with his first victory since July 8. It marked his third start since returning from the injured list after dealing with a digestive tract parasite. On the season, the right-hander has logged 20 appearances and owns a 4.58 ERA and 1.39 WHIP across 94.1 innings.

Dana (0-1) took the loss Monday, allowing five runs on five hits and five walks over 4.2 innings in a 12-3 loss to the Twins. He struck out nine.

Dana flashed both his potential and his flaws in his latest outing, piling up nine strikeouts but also issuing five walks and serving up two home runs. The right-hander has made four big-league appearances this season, including two starts since being recalled Sept. 3, and sits with a 6.32 ERA and 1.60 WHIP across 15.2 innings. While his 19 strikeouts show the swing-and-miss upside, 11 walks and continued issues with home runs highlight the command struggles holding him back.

Duran went 2-for-5 with a double, one RBI, one stolen base and one run scored in Monday's 7-0 win over the Athletics.

This was Duran's first successful theft since Aug. 27 versus the Orioles. The speedy outfielder is up to 23 steals on 29 attempts this season, including five thefts over 33 contests since the beginning of August. Duran has added a .259/.334/.443 slash line with 14 home runs, 78 RBI, 78 runs scored, 37 doubles and 12 triples across 141 games.

Narvaez went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Monday's 7-0 win over the Athletics.

Narvaez has gone deep four times over his last 17 games, a stretch that dates back to Aug. 12. He's added 11 RBI in that span while batting .281 (16-for-57). On the season, the catcher is up to a .252/.321/.429 slash line with 13 homers, 44 RBI, 49 runs scored, 24 doubles and one stolen base through 104 contests.

Story went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, a double and a second run scored in Monday's 7-0 win over the Athletics.

Story logged his fourth multi-hit effort over seven games in September. He provided early offense with his first-inning solo shot, which was his fifth homer over his last 16 contests. The shortstop is up to 24 homers, 90 RBI, 82 runs scored, 26 doubles, 27 stolen bases and a .263/.310/.444 slash line through 141 contests as one of Boston's steadiest hitters.

Crochet (15-5) allowed three hits and struck out 10 without walking a batter over seven shutout innings to earn the win over the Athletics on Monday.

Just one of the three hits went for extra bases. This was Crochet's fifth scoreless outing of the season, and he reached the double-digit mark in strikeouts for the seventh time in an impressive bounce-back performance after his season-worst outing against Cleveland last week. Crochet is now at a 2.57 ERA, 1.05 WHIP and 228:42 K:BB through 185.1 innings over 29 starts. The southpaw's next start is expected to be at home versus the Yankees this weekend.

Morales (3-1) allowed five runs on seven hits and a walk while striking out two over 4.2 innings to take the loss versus the Red Sox on Monday.

Morales had his first setback in the majors, as he allowed as many runs in this start as he did across his first six appearances combined. The Red Sox were also able to get to him for two home runs to send him to his first loss. Morales has a 2.73 ERA, 1.09 WHIP and 32:12 K:BB over 33 innings so far. He'll look to bounce back this weekend in a start projected to be at home against the Reds.
