MINNEAPOLIS — Within the early years of Pablo López’s profession, the issue was that he couldn’t keep wholesome. Then, final season, when he did make all of his begins, the criticism was that his efficiency fell off within the second half because the workload caught as much as him.
However because the 2023 season nears its end, the Twins’ Opening Day starter appears like he’s simply began to seek out his finest kind.
López ducked and weaved by way of loads of site visitors on Friday night time in opposition to the Pirates at Goal Discipline, however he made his stress pitches within the massive spots — and 6 frames later, he’d prolonged his scoreless innings streak to a career-best 19 innings to prime a 5-1 victory over Pittsburgh that helped lengthen Minnesota’s lead within the American League Central to 5 video games.
The appropriate-hander has allowed one earned run in 4 August outings — and that got here within the sixth inning of his Aug. 1 begin in St. Louis. After that, López blanked the Tigers for seven innings and stymied a red-hot Phillies offense for six scoreless frames earlier than stranding eight baserunners in six frames in opposition to the Pirates.
López is the primary Twins starter (non-opener) to throw three consecutive scoreless begins since Jake Odorizzi in 2019. His seven strikeouts gave him 187 for the season, transferring him right into a tie with Toronto’s Kevin Gausman for the AL lead. And in permitting six hits and two walks in six frames, López has a glowing 27 strikeouts and solely three walks in 25 innings this month.
With Michael A. Taylor offering some early offense on a two-run homer and the Twins later including insurance coverage runs on RBI knocks by Donovan Solano, Jorge Polanco and Kyle Farmer, one other stingy effort by Minnesota’s first-year ace made for a fourth straight time the group emerged victorious with him on the mound.
