Matt Boyd, after allowing a leadoff walk to Robbie Grossman, has retired the last eight Twins batters in order.
He got his fourth strikeout when Byron Buxton went down looking to lead off the third inning. Danny Santana then popped out to third base and Brian Dozier hit a line drive right at Justin Upton in left field.
Going to the bottom of the third, the game is scoreless.
