Minnesota Twins starting pitcher Jose Berríos has earned this opportunity. With Ervin Santana yet to make his 2018 debut, Berríos has stepped up in a major way for Minnesota.
Unfortunately, the team hasn’t experienced similar success and his performance has been wasted to this point of the season. However, Berríos has shown that he can fill the role of an ace for a pitching staff, giving hope for a quick turnaround for the Twins next season.
This achievement validates Minnesota’s belief in Berríos while he struggled with a 8.02 ERA during his debut season in 2016.
