CLEVELAND – Jonah Bride collected three hits and drove in a run, Mickey Gasper added a pair of singles and an RBI, Kody Clemens lined his first double of the season, and we’ll pause here to remind you that yes, these are the Minnesota Twins. And yes, they are winning.

So many unfamiliar faces generating unfamiliar outcomes at Progressive Field.

OK, the Twins’ 11-1 rout of the Cleveland Guardians, already matching their number of victories in this ballpark last year, featured some names you’ve heard of, too. Edouard Julien and Ryan Jeffers homered, for instance, Carlos Correa and Byron Buxton each bashed a pair of hits, and Bailey Ober displayed the type of cruise-control pitching that makes him so counter-intuitive in these days of strikeouts-above-all baseball.

“He’s so efficient. He can pitch deep into a game because he can get guys swinging at pitches that they probably don’t want to swing at,” Twins manager Rocco Baldelli said. “He plays that game very well. It’s a cat-and-mouse game, but it’s one that he’s really comfortable with.”

He is, and the Guardians were not. Ober struck out only two batters but also only allowed three Guardians to reach second base and just one to advance any farther. He pitched into the eighth inning and registered his fourth consecutive quality start.

Last summer, Ober reeled off a streak of 15 such games, the Twins’ longest roll since the Johan Santana days. Is he in that sort of groove again?
