Minor pitched 1.1 hitless innings while issuing a walk and striking out two Sunday against Minnesota en route to his first win since 2014.

EDGE Analysis

Shoulder surgery kept the left-hander out of the majors for two years and resulted in a move to the bullpen. Minor, who signed a two-year, $7.3 million deal with the Royals in Feb. 2016, got his first MLB victory Sunday since pitching for Atlanta on Aug. 28, 2014. Over 18 relief appearances (23.2 innings) this year, Minor owns a stellar 1.90 ERA and 0.89 WHIP with a 24:6 K:BB.
