Twins rookie starter Tyler Duffey gave up 10 hits Thursday in Baltimore, but that's the ultimate not-as-bad-as-it-sounds.
His victory had long been clinched when he allowed half of those hits in the eighth inning. His team had taken a 14-0 lead by then.
Duffey finished having yielded just two runs. He walked none and fanned eight in his second straight fine outing. Singles by Gerardo Parra and Caleb Joseph in the eighth ruined his shutout.
He has surrendered only two runs in 13 2/3 innings over his last two starts.
