Struggles in key spot Tuesday Alcala gave up two runs in an inning of work in Tuesday's loss to the White Sox. He gave up two hits, including a two-run home run, and a walk without a strikeout.

Impact Alcala had been one of the better pitchers in the Minnesota bullpen but hadn't been used much in high-leverage spots. He came into a tie game in the sixth inning and promptly gave up a walk and two-run home run and raised his ERA to 4.05 ERA. Given the struggles of Minnesota's bullpen there was a chance he could figure into the mix of finishing games, but that notion likely took a setback Tuesday.

Caps off productive April Alcala threw two scoreless innings with a strikeout in Friday's win over Kansas City to lower his ERA to 3.60.

Impact Alcala has a strong 11:1 K:BB ratio in 10 innings, albeit with three home runs allowed, but hasn't been used in many high-leverage spots. With Alex Colome falling out of favor to finish games, it's possible Alcala could enter the mix in the near future as the Twins are not usually committed to a single closer.

Impact Alcala has pitched quite well in 24 innings of relief this season, striking out 27 batters while walking just eight en route to a 2.63 ERA and 1.21 WHIP. It's possible he plays a role if the Twins advance to the next round.
