López, Jeffers help Twins beat Brewers 7-0 for third straight shutout and 13th consecutive victory

MILWAUKEE (AP) — Pablo López combined with three relievers on a three-hitter as the Minnesota Twins beat the Milwaukee Brewers 7-0 on Saturday for their third straight shutout and 13th consecutive victory.

The Twins haven’t allowed a run since giving up six of them in the third inning of an 8-6 victory at Baltimore in the second game of a doubleheader Wednesday.

Minnesota’s 33 consecutive shutout innings are a Twins franchise record. There were three longer scoreless streaks when the Twins operated as the Washington Senators, but the most recent of those was in 1913.

Milwaukee has been shut out in four of its last five games, the first time that’s happened in franchise history, according to Sportradar. According to Sportradar, the last team to get shut out four times in a five-game stretch was the Miami Marlins in July 2022.

Ryan Jeffers went 4 for 5 with a homer and double, and Kody Clemens went 3 for 5 with a homer as the Twins collected 18 hits.
