MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — The starting pitching for Minnesota has been stellar cheap jerseys , thanks to some strategic adjustments and natural improvement by several members of the rotation.All those home runs by the Twins have sure helped, too.Jake Odorizzi stretched his scoreless streak to 20 innings with seven frames of one-hit ball, Max Kepler and Mitch Garver homered, and the thriving Twins beat the Detroit Tigers 6-0 on Friday night.“With this offense, we’re never out of a game. It’s a fun team to be a part of right now, and as the summer goes on, it’ll be even more enjoyable,” Odorizzi said.Odorizzi (5-2) retired his last 20 batters after a first-inning double by Christin Stewart, striking out five without a walk while lowering his ERA to a career-best 2.32. The right-hander beat the Yankees in New York with six shutout innings last weekend and defeated the Houston Astros with seven scoreless innings in his turn before that. He’s relied on his slider and cut fastball more than ever with remarkable results.“As a pitcher, when you know what a pitch is going to do, it gives you a lot more confidence to throw it,” said Odorizzi, who has won each of his last five starts.Jose Berrios, Martin Perez and more recently Kyle Gibson have been just as good.“Every time I catch them, it seems like it’s the best outing I’ve seen,” Garver said. “I don’t know how far they can carry that, but I’m just impressed.”Jorge Polanco drove in three, including a two-run double in the third for the Twins (24-12), who have the best record in the majors.

Garver also drew three walks. Kepler went deep in the fifth for the Twins, who entered the evening ranked fourth in the majors in homers and are on pace to smash their team record (225 in 1963).“I came into this season looking to be that force in the lineup,” Garver said.The Tigers were blanked for the second straight game and an American League-most fifth time this season.Detroit’s rotation has been decent, but Ross has bogged it down. The right-hander gave up six runs in five innings with four walks and one hit batter with only two strikeouts, pushing his ERA up to 6.11.“He’s been there and done it,” Tigers manager Ron Gardenhire said. “He’s just misfiring.”COLLISION COURSEAs Marwin Gonzalez beat out an infield single in the sixth, Ross threw wildly past first baseman Niko Goodrum, who bruised Gonzalez’s face with his leg as he descended from his jump to try to catch the ball. Both players left the game. Gonzalez showed no signs of a concussion. Goodrum bruised his right knee.“He’s very sore. They had it checked out, X-rays, the whole package, and everything came back negative,” Gardenhire said.STARTING TO FILL UPThe announced attendance was 26,789, the second-largest of the season at Target Field with a first-pitch temperature of 60 degrees and ample sunshine.

Baldelli wouldn’t put a timetable on his return, but he made next week sound realistic.UP NEXTThe Tigers will start RHP Spencer Turnbull (2-2, 2.31 ERA) in the split doubleheader Saturday that was scheduled to make up the April 12 matchup postponed by wintry weather. LHP Gregory Soto is slated to make his major league debut while taking the mound in the second game.RHP Michael Pineda (2-3, 6.09 ERA) will pitch the first game for the Twins.
