EDGE Analysis

Pineda allowed just one extra-base hit on a fourth-inning solo home run by Yordan Alvarez. Unfortunately, the Twins' offense didn't provide any run support and Pineda took his third loss in his last five starts. The 32-year-old has a 3.83 ERA, a 1.20 WHIP and a 7.7 K/9 in 82.1 innings this season. His next start is scheduled for Friday against the Rays.
