17 Jose Berrios SP

Berrios allowed five hits and three walks while striking out four across 5.2 scoreless innings Saturday against the Athletics. He did not factor into the decision.

Berrios didn't allow an extra-base hit but was unable to complete six innings as the Athletics fouled off 31 of his offerings. Nonetheless, it was a positive outing for Berrios as he had allowed three earned runs in each of his past three starts -- only one of which went beyond five frames. He now owns a 2.96 ERA and 1.15 WHIP while striking out 114 across 127.2 innings this season. He'll look to build off this effort in his next start, currently scheduled for Thursday on the road against the White Sox.

Berrios allowed three runs on six hits and three walks over five innings Sunday, striking out six and taking the no-decision in the loss to Cleveland.

Berrios coughed up three runs for the third straight outing, bumping his season ERA to 3.10. After exiting with a 3-0 deficit, his offense tallied three runs in the seventh inning to keep Berrios' record at 8-5. Looking for his first win since June 6, he'll face the Athletics at home Saturday.

Berrios (8-5) allowed three earned runs on six hits and three walks while striking out two across five innings to take the loss Thursday against the Athletics.

Berrios battled out of trouble starting in the third inning but did a decent job of preventing runs. Things unraveled a bit for him in the fifth frame however, as he allowed a leadoff homer and then loaded the bases prior to inducing a double play to limit the damage. This was Berrios' shortest outing of the season, so the relatively poor showing shouldn't raise major concerns. He enters the All-Star break with a strong 3.00 ERA and 1.11 WHIP while striking out 104 batters across 117 innings.

Berrios (8-4) allowed six runs (three earned) on nine hits with no walks and five strikeouts across 7.1 innings while taking a loss against the White Sox on Friday.

Two Twins errors led to three unearned runs charged to Berrios. It didn't help that he yielded two homers, but without the errors, it could have been a very different night. Besides the loss, Berrios escaped without many of his other numbers taking too much damage. He has a 2.89 ERA, 1.08 WHIP and 102 strikeouts in 112 innings this season. Berrios will start next at the Athletics on Thursday.

Berrios (finger) is listed as the Twins' probable pitcher for Friday's game against the White Sox, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Berrios was removed early in his most recent start June 22 against the Royals due to a blister on his right ring finger, but his inclusion in the Twins' pitching schedule for the series in Chicago implies he was able to throw without any discomfort earlier this week. Since he'll also be returning to action on five days' rest rather than his normal four, Berrios isn't expected to face any strict limitations with his pitch count.

Berrios isn't expected to miss a start due to the blister that caused him to exit Saturday's game, LaVelle E. Neal III of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.

Berrios still delivered seven scoreless innings before leaving the game with a pair of runners on base -- both of which came around to score -- but the blister appears to be a minor concern. The 25-year-old is scheduled to throw a bullpen session Tuesday and likely slots in to start Friday at the White Sox.

Berrios was forced to exit Saturday's game against the Royals due to a blister on his right ring finger, LaVelle E. Neal III of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.

Berrios threw seven scoreless innings but allowed the first two batters to reach base in the eighth before leaving with the injury. Both runners would come around to score, as would another batter later in the inning, condemning Berrios to a no-decision despite his strong outing. It remains to be seen whether or not the blister will put his next start at risk.

Berrios was pulled with an unspecified injury in the eighth inning of his start against the Royals on Saturday, Betsy Helfand of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

Berrios cruised through the first seven innings, tossing only 83 pitches while allowing zero runs and striking out three. He ran into trouble in the top of the eighth, ceding a base hit and a walk before leaving the mound with team trainer Tony Leo. The Twins should provide an update regarding the nature of Berrios' departure later in the day, but LaVelle E. Neal III of the Minneapolis Star Tribune speculates that the right-hander may have been dealing with a nail or blister issue.

Berrios (8-3) gave up one run on five hits and no walks while striking out 10 through eight innings, taking the loss against the Red Sox on Monday.

Berrios allowed three straight hits to start the game to allow his only run, but proceeded to dominate the rest of his outing with 19 swinging strikes. The 25-year old continued his consistency with his fifth straight quality start and has a 1.85 ERA in that span. Berrios will look to keep rolling in his next start Saturday against the Royals at Kauffman Stadium.

Berrios gave up one run on seven hits and two walks while striking out six through 6.2 innings in a no-decision against the Mariners on Wednesday.

Berrios was hittable and gave up a solo home run, but he continuously worked his way out of trouble and forced 14 swinging strikes in the quality start. He also limited the hard contact with an average exit velocity of 84 MPH. The 25-year-old is 8-2 with a 3.01 ERA and an 8.4 K/9 through 14 starts this season. Berrios will take on the Red Sox in his next start Monday at Target Field.

Berrios was outstanding on the night, allowing just three baserunners as he induced 10 groundball outs and threw 69 percent of his pitches for strikes. The only significant damage against him came on a solo home run in the fifth inning, although he enjoyed a lead at the time. Berrios has a 2-0 record to go along with three quality starts over his last three outings and will look to keep it rolling in his next start at home against the Mariners.

Berrios didn't factor into the decision after surrendering three runs on three hits and three walks while striking out eight over 6.2 innings Friday night against the Rays.

Berrios surrendered two runs in the second inning on a two-run homer, but his only other run allowed came in the third. The 25-year-old had won six of his last eight starts heading into Friday's matchup, but his offense struck just a little too late for the right-hander to pick up the victory. He owns a 3.27 ERA and 1.13 WHIP with 72 strikeouts across 77 innings this season.

Berrios (7-2) picked up the win in Friday's 11-4 rout of the White Sox, giving up four runs (one earned) on nine hits over 6.2 innings while striking out four.

Some shaky defense allowed Chicago to post a four-spot in the second inning and briefly take the lead, but Berrios bounced back and put up goose eggs the rest of the way as he let the Minnesota offense get to work. As per usual the right-hander attacked the strike zone all night, throwing 74 of 98 pitches for strikes, and he'll carry a 3.20 ERA and 64:11 K:BB through 70.1 innings into his next outing Thursday in Tampa Bay.

Berrios allowed four runs on eight hits while striking out six in 4.2 innings in a no-decision against the Mariners on Saturday.

The right-hander remains at 6-2 with a 3.39 ERA and 1.13 WHIP in 10 starts this season. He's struck out 60 batters in 63.2 innings. Berrios is expected to take his next turn versus the White Sox on Friday.

Berrios (5-1) allowed two earned runs on seven hits and no walks while striking out five across seven innings to earn the win Thursday against the Astros.

Berrios allowed a solo home run to Alex Bregman in the first inning but held the Astros scoreless thereafter until the seventh inning. He was particularly efficient, needing only 88 pitches to retire 21 batters, highlighted by 20 called strikes. After being somewhat prone to blowup outings last season -- he allowed five or more earned runs seven times last season -- Berrios has allowed more than three runs in only one start this campaign. He'll look to keep things going in his next start, likely to come Tuesday at Toronto.

Berrios (4-1) struck out eight and was credited with the win in the Twins' 9-2 win over the Orioles on Saturday after pitching six innings and allowing two runs on seven hits and no walks.
