CAREER NOTES

LAST TIME OUT: August 26 at Tampa Bay, Duffey went 5.1 innings, allowing two runs on seven hits with four walks and four strikeouts, not factoring into the decision of the 5-3 Twins win...he faced the minimum through three (one reached on error, erased on double play) before allowing a home run to Daniel Nava to start the fourth inning...he gave up his final run in the fifth inning on a Grady Sizemore RBI single...here is another note from his start: • He limited the Rays to 2-for-9 (.222 average) with runners in scoring position...since his debut

August 5, he has held batters to a .261 (6-for-23) batting average with runners in scoring position, the lowest among Twins starters in that time.

TWO STARTS AGO: Duffey recorded his second consecutive win August 20 at Baltimore...he went 7.2 innings and allowed two runs on 10 hits (9 singles, 1 double) with no walks and eight strikeouts in the Twins 15-2 victory...he had a shutout through seven innings on just five hits, but gave up five singles in the eighth inning, allowing two runs to score, before he was pulled from the game after 96 pitches...here is another note from his outing: • The eight strikeouts were the most by a Twins starter within their first three career starts since

Boof Bonser also struck out eight on May 21, 2006 at Milwaukee (6.0-5-1-1-3-8-0)...in fact, Duffey is one of just seven pitchers in Twins history (since 1961) to strikeout eight-plus hitters within their first three career starts...Pat Mahomes holds the record with 10 strikeouts April 26, 1992 against Oakland (5.0-5-4-4-3-10-1)...Duffey is the only one of those seven pitchers to not have a walk in the start.

FIRST MAJOR LEAGUE WIN: In his second career start, August 15 vs. Cleveland, Duffey recorded his first major league win...he went 6.0 shutout innings, allowing one hit with five walks and seven strikeouts...he took a no-hitter into the sixth inning, but gave up a double to Francisco Lindor with one out...here is another note from his first career win: • He is the first Twins starter to allow one-or-fewer hits in 6.0-or-more shutout innings since Anthony

Swarzak did so on May 28, 2011 against the Angels...additionally, the last Twins pitcher to go 6.0-or-more innings, allow one-or-fewer hits and allow runs was Francisco Liriano on June 15, 2012 vs. MIL (6.0-1-3-3-4-6-1).

RIGHT APPROACH: Through his first four career starts, right-handers have hit .179 (7-for-39) with a .460 on-base percentage against Duffey compared to a .372 (16-for-43) average with a .256 on-base percentage for left-handers...since his debut August 5, his .179 opponents batting average to right-handers is the 10th lowest in the AL.

AGAINST THE WHITE SOX: This will be Duffey's first career start against Chicago-AL...he has never faced any White Sox hitters.

2015 HIGHLIGHTS: Began season with Double-A Chattanooga with 16.2 scoreless inning streak over first three starts, including 10 strikeouts (6.2 IP) in first start April 9 at Montgomery.• Named Southern League Pitcher of the Week and Twins minor league Player of the Week April
