Gives up two in no-decision Lopez did not factor into the decision Thursday, allowing two runs on six hits and one walk over seven innings against the White Sox. He struck out eight.

Impact Lopez bounced back from a pair of rocky starts, giving up 11 runs on 16 hits over his last two outings (10.0 innings) by tossing seven innings of two-run ball. Lopez's only blemish on the day was a two-run homer by Eloy Jimenez that plated Seby Zavala in the third inning. Through 43.0 innings, Lopez holds a 3.77 ERA to pair with an 11.3 K/9 and remains a strong fantasy option as the Twins' third arm.

Struggles in loss to Nationals Lopez (1-2) took the loss Saturday, allowing five runs on eight hits and two walks over four innings in a 10-4 loss to the Nationals. He struck out six.

Impact Lopez struggled out of the gate as he allowed two runs in both the first and second innings. He'd give up one more in the fourth before his exit. It's a disappointing effort for a variety of reasons, including the fact that he had given up just five runs in total coming into the start, and he was facing a lackluster Washington lineup in Saturday's effort. The struggles saw his ERA bump to 3.00 from the 1.73 it was prior to the start, and Lopez will get a chance to rebound in his next scheduled start against the Royals.
