Worth noting

• The Twins entered Saturday with 24 doubles in their last seven games. With 240 two-baggers, Minnesota trails only Boston in the American League in that category. The club is on pace for 306 doubles, which would be the eighth-most in its history.

Justin Morneau drew two walks in Friday's win, giving the Twins first baseman 501 free passes in his career. He is the eighth player in franchise history and 44th active player to reach the 500-walk milestone.

• After racking up 10 strikeouts on Friday, the Twins offense has been punched out 1,086 times this season, an amount that is already the third-highest total in team history. Minnesota is on pace for 1,385 strikeouts, which would shatter the record of 1,121.
