Twins: After a terrible first inning against the Tigers in which he threw 45 pitches and gave up six runs, Bonser turned into the hero of the game his last time out. The right-hander pitched five consecutive scoreless innings following the first. He retired 17 of the last 19 hitters he faced on just 54 pitches. He attributed it to locating his fastball and gaining control of his off-speed pitches. Bonser will face another tough challenge when he starts the opener of a four-game series against the Red Sox.
