CAREER NOTES

LAST START: Nolasco was dealt his sixth loss of the season June 29 at Chicago-AL...sur-rendered seven runs on nine hits and one walk in 5.2 innings...left game trailing 5-1 with two runners on base and both runners came around to score...most runs allowed in a game since August 31, 2014 at Baltimore (8)...gave up a season-high three home runs, the first time surrendering three in a game since August 1, 2013 at Chicago-NL as a member of the Los Angeles Dodgers...threw 95 pitches, 62 strikes.

EASY A'S: Nolasco is making his fourth career start against Oakland and second as a mem-ber of the Twins...he is 2-0, 3.00 ERA (21.0 IP, 7 ER) with four walks and seven strikeouts in his three career starts against the Athletics...last start against the A's came May 7, 2015 at Target Field, when he picked up the win in a 6-5 game; gave up four runs on six hits in 5.0 innings, while walking one and striking out one.• Nolasco's 4.17 ERA in 69.0 innings against the AL West is tied for his lowest against

any division (NL Central).

BORN ON THE FOURTH OF JULY: Nolasco is making his 42nd career start in the month of July...his 3.98 July ERA is his lowest in any month, and his 20 wins is the second most (23 wins in May)...making his third career start on the Fourth of July...received a win in 2010 at Atlanta, going 7.0 innings and allowing two runs, and picked up a loss in 2011 after allowing one run in 7.0 innings vs. Philadelphia.

INNINGS EATER: Nolasco has lasted at least 5.0 innings in 15 of his 16 starts this season...he leads the team with 96.2 innings pitched...he has completed 7.0-or-more innings five times this season, most amongst Twins starters, with his longest outing coming June 3 vs. Tampa Bay, when he went 7.2 innings...Nolasco lasted 5.0-plus innings in just five of his eight starts in 2015, his last coming May 25 vs. Boston, when he tossed a season-high 7.2 innings.

BEAUTIFUL DAY: Nolasco is 2-2 with a 3.73 ERA (50.2 IP, 21 ER) in eight day games this season, while he is 1-4 with a 7.04 ERA (46.0 IP, 36 ER) in eight night games...his career numbers are spread more evenly, with a 29-28 record and a 4.76 ERA in day games and a 74-67 record with a 4.52 ERA in night games.

EARNED IT: Nolasco's 1.77 walks-per-9.0 innings is the best of his career and his 4.16 strikeout-to-walk ratio is fourth best...however, his 1.30 home runs allowed-per-9.0 innings is the second highest of his career and the highest since 2010.• Nolasco's 19 walks this season are tied for the fifth fewest by an AL starter with a

minimum of 15 starts...Phil Hughes' 16 walks in 2015 was the fewest in MLB with a minimum of 150.0 innings pitched.

FROM THE STRETCH: Nolasco has allowed a .353 (49-for-139) opponents' batting average with runners on base; the highest amongst Twins starters who have made multiple starts...with the bases empty, he is allowing a .266 (65-for-244) batting average against...his .359 opponents' batting average with runners on base is the highest in the American League this season amongst pitchers who have made at least 10 starts...in his career, opponents are hitting .294 (743-for-2523) with runners on, as opposed to .267 (1009-for-3783) with none on base.
