Twins pitcher Trevor May gave up just one earned run on four hits in six innings while striking out four and walking none in his team's 7-2 win over the Indians Sunday.

May (1-1) struggled in his first start of the season but bounced back nicely Sunday, with the only damage coming on three straight two-out singles in the third inning.

"I was able to get ahead of guys and make pitches when I needed to," May said to MLB.com. "A couple things went my way this time that didn't last time. It's about being as consistent as possible and having them put the ball in play."

He owns a 4.76 ERA and 8:1 K:BB ratio in 11 1/3 innings heading into Saturday's matchup with the Mariners.
