3 years agoMinnesota Twins pitcher Danny Coulombe struggled as the opener in Friday's win over the Cleveland Indians. Coulombe pitched 1 2/3 innings, surrendering three runs, one earned, on two hits while walking none. He struck out a pair of hitters. Coulombe allowed a pair of homers in the first inning, one following an error, as he was lifted from the game in the top of the second after 32 pitches. Despite excelling for the Twins' Triple-A affiliate this season, Coulombe seems unlikely to earn another spot start as an opener. Perhaps, Griffin Jax- who earned his first big league win- could serve as a spot starter in the next turn around the rotation.--Tim Capurso
