Somehow, though, Ober managed to get by and turned in his 10th consecutive quality start to help the Twins to a 3-2 victory over the Rangers in the series opener of a four-game set at Globe Life Field.
“Was trying to find it kind of the whole game, just trying to locate my stuff,” said Ober, whose quality-starts streak is the longest by a Twins pitcher since Johan Santana posted 21 straight during his 2004 Cy Young season. “I didn’t really have it the whole game, but I was able to get by and it was good enough.”
Ober struggled out of the gates as the Rangers took a 2-0 lead in the first inning. He gave up an infield single and a four-pitch walk to the first two batters he faced, both of whom went on to score.
