RANDY DOBNAK NEWS

Win streak at five Dobnak (5-1) picked up the win Saturday, allowing two runs on eight hits and a walk over five innings in a 7-2 victory over the Royals. He struck out two.

Impact Kansas City had runners on base in every inning against Dobnak, but the right-hander escaped taking any damage until the fifth thanks to three double plays turned behind him. He's now won five straight outings, and while there's a wide disparity between his 1.78 ERA and 4.07 FIP, in a shortened season regression isn't guaranteed. Dobnak will look to keep coaxing weak contact out of the opposition in his next start Thursday in Detroit.

Wins fourth straight start Dobnak (4-1) picked up the win Sunday against the Royals, allowing two runs on three hits and one walk across 5.1 innings pitched. He struck out three.

Impact After allowing solo homers in each of the first two innings, Dobnak settled in nicely and did not allow another run for the rest of his outing. The right-hander has now won each of his last four outings as he continues to be a pleasant surprise for a Minnesota rotation that has been burdened by injuries to Rich Hill (shoulder) and Homer Bailey (biceps). Dobnak will look to stay on a roll when he faces Kansas City once again next week.

Picks up third victory Dobnak (3-1) allowed one run on four hits and a walk Monday, striking out three and earning the win over Milwaukee.

Impact Once again, the 25-year-old right-hander was terrific for Minnesota, earning his third consecutive win. Dobnak yielded an RBI double to Orlando Arcia in the second inning but held the Brewers quiet over the next few frames. He's allowed one run or fewer in all four of his starts this season. He'll carry a stellar 0.90 ERA into Sunday's home contest against the Royals.

Impact Dobnak has given up just one run in 15 innings in his first three starts. With both Rich Hill and Homer Bailey on the injured list (Jake Odorizzi is set to return from the IL on Saturday), Dobnak's spot in the rotation should be set for the next week or two. However, it sounds like Baldelli envisions keeping Dobnak in the rotation even when those injured starters are healthy.

Six scoreless innings Dobnak (2-1) allowed three hits and no walks while striking out one across six scoreless innings to earn the win Wednesday against the Pirates.

Impact Dobnak failed to generate many strikeouts, and induced just four swinging strikes on 71 total pitches. Still, he was efficient and effective by minimizing hard contact, as 11 of his 18 outs came via the ground ball. With Rich Hill (shoulder) and Homer Bailey (biceps) sidelined, Dobnak should maintain a secure role in the rotation for the time being. He'll face a stiffer test in his next outing, currently projected for Monday at Milwaukee.
