wins (23) and ranks third in school history with 182 strikeouts...was primarily a third baseman until his sophomore year when he transferred to the mound.

CAREER NOTES

LAST TIME OUT: May 22 at U.S. Cellular Field, opposite Jeff Samardzija, Hughes went 7.0 innings and allowed two runs on eight hits (7 singles, 1 double) with one walk and three strikeouts, not factoring into the decision of the 3-2 White Sox win...he allowed at least one hit in five of his seven innings...the only run Hughes gave up came on a two-out, two-run double by Geovany Soto in the fourth inning...here is another note from his start:• Right-handers went 5-for-10 against Hughes with a double...they are now hitting .327 (32-for-98)

against him this season, the second highest average among Twins starting pitchers (Nolasco - .370), fourth highest in the AL and sixth highest in baseball (minimum 75 batters faced).

QUALITY CONSISTENCY: For the first time this year, Hughes has tossed back-to-back quality starts...in fact, 24 of his 41 starts in a Twins uniform have been quality starts (58.5 percent)...the Twins have gone 17-7 in those games...the 24 quality starts since last season are the most on the Twins in that time...when Hughes has worked at least 6.0 innings, the Twins have gone 20-14...he has worked 6.0 innings-or-more in 20 of his last 21 starts...in the only start he didn’t make it through 6.0 innings, April 29, 2015 vs. Detroit, he left after 5.0 innings with a mild strain of his left hip flexor.

(DON'T) WALK THIS WAY: Hughes walked one batter in his last start and has done so in consecutive starts for the first time since issuing one walk in three straight starts from July 30-August 10, 2014...in the 15 starts between, he walked just five hitters compared to 84 strikeouts in 103.0 innings...Hughes has still given up just six walks on the season, a total that is third fewest in baseball (minimum 50.0 innings)...his 6.33 strikeout/walk ratio is third best in the AL (Pineda – 14.75, Kluber – 6.92)...as a Twin, Hughes has almost as many wins (19) as walks (22).

APRIL SHOWERS BRING MAY FLOWERS: Hughes finished April 0-4 with a 4.55 ERA (31.2 IP, 16 ER), two walks and 26 strikeouts...this was the fifth time in his nine year career that Hughes went win-less in the season's first month (in 2007, however, he only had one start)...Hughes is 6-16, 5.84 ERA (163.1 IP, 106 ER) in 33 career April starts, his highest mark of any month...conversely, in May for his Twins career, he his 6-0, 2.87 ERA (59.2 IP, 19 ER), four walks and 36 strikeouts...in fact, Hughes hasn't lost a game in May since May 15, 2013 vs. Seattle (0.2-6-7-7-2-0-1), the shortest start of his career...last year his 1.62 ERA (33.1 IP, 6 ER) in five May starts was the second best in baseball...Hughes is 18-6, 4.01 ERA (197.1 IP, 88 ER), 43 walks and 161 strikeouts in 33 career May starts...the 18 wins are the most he's had in any month of his career.

EXTRA! EXTRA!: Hughes gave up just one extra-base hit in his last start, his fewest in a start this year, but has still allowed 27 on the season, tied for the most in the AL and tied for the fourth most in baseball...10 of those extra-base hits have been homers, a total that is fourth most in the AL and tied for seventh most in the majors...his last start was just his second this season in which he didn’t surrender a home run...Hughes has allowed a home run in 11 of his past 14 outings, a stretch in which he’s surrendered 14 total...over his 15 prior starts, he gave up just five home runs...Hughes has also allowed the most total bases (117) and the fifth highest slugging percentage (.496) in the AL.

FACING THE RED SOX: Hughes will be making his 16th career start and 25th appearance against the Red Sox...he is 5-8 with a 5.12 ERA (91.1 IP, 52 ER), 28 walks and 78 strikeouts...Toronto is the only other team he has faced more frequently in his career (22 starts, 29 appearances)...the last time he faced Boston, Hughes pitched his only complete game of the 2014 season, opposite Jon Lester, but took the loss after giving up two runs in 8.0 innings in the Twins 2-1 loss June 17 at Fenway Park...his last win over the Red Sox came September 13, 2012 at Fenway Park, tossing 7.1 shutout innings...Hughes gave up just three runs over 14.0 innings in two starts against the Red Sox last season...in Hughes’ last six starts against the Red Sox (four at home, two at Boston), dating back to July 27, 2012, he has a 2.50 ERA (39.2 IP, 11 ER), just five walks, 37 strikeouts, five quality starts and his team has won four times.• Hughes has allowed three home runs to Dustin Pedroia (11-for-35), the second most he’s given

up to any active player (Miguel Cabrera – 5)...Pedroia’s 10 RBI’s are also second most and his 11 hits are tied with Adam Lind for fifth most.

TOUGH LUCK LOSER: In three of Hughes’ four losses this year, he has been matched up against David Price, Chris Sale and Felix Hernandez...those three pitchers have gone 269-176 in their careers (.604 winning percentage), appeared in 12 All-Star Games and won two Cy Young Awards...two of the three times this year the Twins have been shutout have come in his starts...the Twins scored a total of four runs in Hughes' four losses this year...Hughes was dealt the loss in his first four games, marking the first time he lost four games in a row since he lost a career-high eight straight from July 8, 2013 to April 15, 2014.• Hughes was the first Twins starter to begin a Twins season with losses in four straight starts

since 2009 when Scott Baker and Francisco Liriano both did it (others have started their personal season with losing streaks as long but later in that particular baseball season).

2014 RECAP: Hughes begins his second season with the Twins after a career-best 2014...he posted career-highs, and led the Twins staff, in ERA (3.52), innings (209.2), strikeouts (186), strikeouts-per- 9.0 innings (7.98) and quality starts (20)...his 16 victories, while also a team-high, tied for fourth in the American League...that total represented 22.85% of the club's 70 wins on the season, the second-highest percentage in all of baseball behind Cincinnati's Johnny Cueto (20 wins, 26.31%). • Went 6-5 with a 2.97 ERA (88.0 IP, 29 ER) after the All-Star break, the lowest mark of his career

as a full-time starter.• Set MLB record for highest strikeouts-to-walk ratio at 11.63.
