Starter vs. Twins: Kyle Lobstein — 4 IP, 3 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 0 BB, 2 K. Starter vs. Rays: Francisco Liriano — 42⁄3 IP, 7 H, 3 R, 3 ER, 0 BB, 4 K.

Hitter: David Freese — 1 for 2, 1 HR.

Of note: Lobstein hadn’t allowed a run all spring until his fourth and final inning Saturday. Through the first three innings, though, he was perfect against the Twins’ regular lineup, which included Brian Dozier, Miguel Sano, Joe Mauer and Byron Buxton.
