Ryan Jeffers - Does damage earlyJeffers went 2-for-3 with a home run, a walk and three RBI in Sunday's 6-5 extra-inning loss to the Rangers.
ImpactJeffers made an impact early in the contest, hitting a two-run homer in the first inning and an RBI single in the third. The catcher has hit safely in five of his last six games, going 6-for-20 (.300) with three homers and five RBI in that span. That constitutes a warm spell for Jeffers, and it's come at a good time, as fellow catcher Christian Vazquez entered Sunday on an eight-game hitting streak before snapping it with a strikeout as a pinch hitter. The Twins continues to evenly split the playing time for their catchers. Jeffers has offered more power with 19 homers, 18 doubles and a .464 slugging percentage while batting .231 with 57 RBI, 45 runs scored and three stolen bases over 94 contests this season.

Pablo López - Strong start goes to wasteLopez allowed six hits and three walks while striking out three over six scoreless innings in a no-decision versus the Rangers on Sunday.
ImpactLopez wasn't dominant, but he was good enough for the first six innings. He threw 71 of 107 pitches for strikes, but his strong outing went to waste when Jorge Alcala gave up five runs in the seventh inning. This was Lopez's first scoreless outing since June 23, but he's managed to earn a quality start in five of his last six appearances. For the year, he has a 4.47 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and 152:32 K:BB through 141 innings over 25 starts. Lopez is projected to make his next start at home versus the Cardinals.
