This is the type of appearance Twins fans hoped they were getting when he joined the club this year. An innings eater who can go deep into a game and keep you competitive. With 117 pitches, he reached a career high and the most he's thrown in a game since 2012.

At 61.5% strike rate, it'd be incorrect to say he pounded the strike zone, but that really isn't his profile. However, he didn't walk any body, and the only big mistake he made was a splitter to Carlos Santana that got deposited into the seats. A sub 1 WHIP, 5 strike outs; if he can put together a couple more of these outings to round out a rough 2014, perhaps there will be something to look forward to in 2015.
