Ryan Jeffers - Homers in winJeffers went 1-for-5 with a three-run home run in Saturday's 8-1 win over the Cardinals.

ImpactJeffers blew Saturday's game wide open early with a three-run homer off St. Louis starter Jake Woodford in the third inning. This is the catcher's second consecutive outstanding performance, as he now has three home runs and nine RBI in his last two games. With Mitch Garver back from the paternity list and a hand injury, however, Jeffers could see his playing time reduced.

Jorge Alcala - Secures third winAlcala (3-5) allowed one hit and zero walks with two strikeouts through two scoreless innings of relief, getting the win in Saturday's 8-1 victory over the Cardinals.

ImpactNobody's happier to see the calendar flip to August than Alcala. The right-hander had an ERA of 9.72 over nine appearances in July before logging six outs against the Cardinals to nab his third win of the season Saturday night. This outing should work to boost his confidence.

Bailey Ober - Strikes out six in no-decisionOber allowed one earned run on four hits and one walk with six strikeouts through four innings, taking a no-decision in Saturday's 8-1 win over the Cardinals.

ImpactOber inherited an early 7-0 lead Saturday night and did his part to ensure the Cardinals couldn't stage a comeback. The only damage against his line came on a Harrison Bader RBI base hit in the fourth inning. Saturday marked his first start since in which he didn't allow multiple earned runs since July 5. His six strikeouts were one shy of his career high. The rookie has been a reliable option for the Twins since joining the rotation full-time in June. However, Minnesota's reluctance to allow Ober to go deep into ballgames limits his ability to accrue wins.
