MINNEAPOLIS — It's easy to be annoyed by the Twins' less-is-more approach to some of their more fragile players. But it's also hard, lately, to argue with the results.
Chris Archer turned in his most impressive, though typically truncated, start of the season on Saturday, allowing only one hit over five innings. And Byron Buxton, starting in center field for the first time since Tuesday, tripled home the Twins' first run, and the only one they would need, in a 6-0 victory over the Rockies at Target Field.
The Twins' fourth one-hitter in Target Field history and second shutout in three days, combined with the Guardians' second straight loss to Boston, propelled the Twins back into first place in the AL Central by one game.
