MINNEAPOLIS  — The day after one of their ugliest losses of the season, the Minnesota Twins turned to ace-in-training Jose Berrios for a quick turnaround.

Eduardo Escobar and Eddie Rosario added yet another pick-me-up dose of hustle and muscle, too.

Berrios pitched a six-hitter for his second complete game this season, and the Twins hit three home runs against James Shields in a 7-2 victory over the Chicago White Sox on Thursday afternoon.

Berrios (7-5) retired his first 14 batters before Omar Narvarez’s double. By that time, the 23-year-old right-hander already had a 7-0 lead. He used 10 strikeouts to win for the fourth time in five starts. Berrios has 44 strikeouts and four walks in 37 2/3 innings over that span, and he has logged a career-best five straight starts of six innings or more.

“Everyone knows when he’s pitching. He’s been on a really good roll here. You feel good about getting deep and having a chance to win, and all those things,” manager Paul Molitor said. “You can tell his confidence is developing.”

With seven games in a six-day stretch this week, the break for the bullpen was a welcomed bonus.

“I don’t know if he’s overly conscious of the fact that I’m hoping he goes nine today, but he kind of pitched like that,” Molitor said, “like he was on a mission to try to find a way to complete the game if he could. And that’s what you want to see. That’s how you build young people up into guys that eventually emerge on the top of your rotation.”
