A matchup against the last-place Miami Marlins was the Twins' last real chance to keep any hope of postseason baseball alive. Win, and the slimmest of hopes survives. Lose, and the door effectively closes.

The team asked much more of him than anyone could have expected, resulting in a career-high innings count and noticeably diminished stuff down the stretch.
