Simon delivered a sparkling six-hit, six-strikeout performance Tuesday in 7.2 innings of work against the Twins. He allowed just one earned run and one walk. He managed to get himself out of a self-inflicted jam in the second when a walk and a double put runners on second and third with none out. But he whiffed the next three batters to get out of the jam and then stayed strong to the eighth when he just ran out of gas. It was a great line for those owners who took a chance on him.
