MINNEAPOLIS -- Rookie Kohl Stewart has continued to improve since making his Major League debut in mid-August, and has been adapting well to his role as a primary pitcher with the Twins using an opener before his recent outings.
Stewart extended his scoreless streak to 12 innings with six shutout frames against the Tigers, but closer Trevor Hildenberger struggled again in a 4-2 loss in the series opener on Tuesday night at Target Field. Hildenberger surrendered back-to-back RBI singles to Nicholas Castellanos and Niko Goodrum in the eighth before Trevor May allowed two inherited runs to score on a two-out double from James McCann.
