Twins rookie Samuel Deduno improved his record to 4-0 in seven starts this season this with a victory over the Tigers at Target Field last night. Deduno earned the win despite issuing five walks, bringing his season total to 30 bases on balls. Deduno is the first major-league pitcher to go undefeated in a span of seven starts in one season while walking 30 or more batters over that stretch since Tampa Bay’s Victor Zambrano in 2004. The last pitcher to do that for the Washington/Minnesota franchise was the Senators’ Ed Linke in 1935. Source: Elias
