Ramussen walked just one but struck out only three on the day, while posting a 21 percent whiff rate and 31 percent CSW. He threw essentially all fastballs today, with 69 of his 74 pitches being some variation of a fastball. He pounded the zone with his four-seam and sinker, but the cutter didn’t miss many bats on the day. Still, not much to complain about here or with his 2.22 ERA on the season. You can fire Rasmussen up even against the Mets next week.

The 29-year-old hurler allowed just one hit in the ballgame — an infield single by Jake Burger to open the third inning — and didn’t walk a batter. Rasmussen got nine swings and misses on just 79 pitches in the ballgame, posting a solid CSW of 32 percent. He hasn’t allowed an earned run in any of his last four starts and has now fired 23 consecutive scoreless frames. He’ll look to extend that dominance as he brings a minuscule 2.14 ERA, 0.87 WHIP and a 56/13 K/BB ratio (63 innings) into a dream matchup against the Marlins on Sunday afternoon.

The Twins had nine hard-hit balls against Rasmussen, including five with xBAs of at least .500, but it all produced a mere one single, which was a 108-mph liner from Trevor Larnach to begin the top of the first. Rasmussen went on to strike out five and walked one. He has pitched 18 scoreless innings in his last three starts, lowering his ERA to 2.33. He’s also won all three to even his record at 4-4, though he still deserves better than that. He’ll face the Rangers next.

Rasmussen allowed four hits, walked two and struck out three. He’s pitched six scoreless innings in back-to-back starts, and he’s now up to four scoreless starts on the season. It’s hard to believe the Rays are 4-6 in his starts, given that he has a 2.60 ERA in 52 innings. He’ll face the Twins next week, unless maybe the Rays add a spot starter at some point to give their guys a little rest. If that happens, he’d pitch in Houston.
