RANDY DOBNAK NEWS

Cut down by Cards Dobnak (6-3) took the loss in the second game of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Cardinals, coughing up five runs on two hits, two walks and two HBP over 2.2 innings. He struck...

Impact The right-hander threw only 27 of his 47 pitches for strikes before getting the hook in the middle of a third inning in which the Cards sent 11 batters to the plate. Dobnak has now given up at least five runs in two of his last three starts, inflating his ERA to 3.61, and his struggles could put his rotation spot in jeopardy with Michael Pineda pitching well since his return from suspension and Jake Odorizzi (abdomen) closing in on his own return to action.

Earns Game 1 win Dobnak (6-2) tossed five scoreless innings as he earned the win in Game 1 of Friday's doubleheader against the Tigers. He allowed four hits and one walk while striking out four.

Impact The Twins led off Friday's doubleheader with back-to-back home runs in the first inning, and that run support was all Dobnak needed to pick up his sixth win of 2020. The right-hander allowed just five baserunners over the first five innings, and the bullpen took care of the rest. Dobnak now carries a 2.72 ERA and 21:10 K:BB over 39.2 innings this season. His next start should come at home against Cleveland next Friday.
