Ober allowed two runs on six hits and struck out four in four innings versus Cleveland on Monday. He did not factor in the decision.

EDGE Analysis

As planned, Ober and Michael Pineda combined to cover seven innings in the contest. Minnesota led wire-to-wire, but Ober didn't work deep enough into the contest to earn the win. He's been solid in his last five starts, yielding seven runs (six earned) in 26.1 innings while adding a 25:2 K:BB in that span. The 26-year-old has a 4.00 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 81:17 K:BB across 78.2 innings, but he'll likely have his workload limited as he completes his first major-league season. Ober projects for a home start versus Kansas City this weekend.
