Duran secured the save in Friday's 2-1 win over Pittsburgh, allowing one hit in a scoreless ninth inning. He struck out two.

EDGE Analysis

Duran successfully converted his fifth save in a row, and he's now turned in six consecutive scoreless outings. The hard-throwing right-hander appears to be well over an illness that cost him Tuesday's tilt against the Cubs. Duran sports a 1.49 ERA, 1.09 WHIP and 47:16 K:BB while converting 15 of his 17 save chances over 42.1 innings, and his ERA would be a career best if it sticks.

Duran tallied the save in Wednesday's 4-2 win over the Cubs, throwing a clean ninth inning with no strikeouts.

EDGE Analysis

Duran wasn't available for Tuesday's win over Chicago due to an illness, but he was feeling well enough to nail down his 14th save of the season Wednesday. The hard-throwing right-hander posted his fifth scoreless outing in a row, and he should continue to serve as the Twins' closer going forward. Through 41.1 innings, Duran holds an excellent 1.52 ERA, 1.09 WHIP and 45:16 K:BB.

Duran was unavailable for Tuesday's game against the Cubs due to an illness, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Minnesota closer converted his third straight save chance on just nine pitches (seven strikes). Duran hasn't quite been his usual dominant self over the last month or so, posting a 3.27 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and 10:3 K:BB through 11 innings since the beginning of June, but he still has yet to serve up a homer in 2025 and remains entrenched in the ninth-inning role for the Twins.

On the year, the hard-throwing right-hander sports a 1.73 ERA, 1.10 WHIP and 41:14 K:BB while converting 11 of his 13 save chances across 36.1 innings.

EDGE Analysis

It was the right-hander's first save since May 14, as Duran blew his only save chance during the previous two-week stretch. That blown save was the only time in his last 15 appearances he's been tagged with an earned run, however, and over that 15-game stretch he's posted a 0.60 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 20:5 K:BB in 15 innings.
