Bailey Ober delivered a complete-game shutout on just 89 pitches Tuesday night to lead the Minnesota Twins to a 3-0 victory over the Miami Marlins at Target Field. The 6-foot-9 right-hander allowed only two hits and no walks while mixing speeds effectively. It marked his first career shutout and the first Maddux by a Twins pitcher since 2017.
Ober faced fellow tall pitcher Eury Pérez and relied on command rather than velocity, with his fastball averaging 88.8 mph. The Twins scored all three runs in the fifth inning, sparked by Byron Buxton's steal of home and a two-run homer from catcher Ryan Jeffers.
