MORE MISCELLANEOUS NUMBERS

LAST TIME OUT: Pelfrey was dealt his third loss of the season, allowing eight runs on 11 hits with three walks and no strikeouts in 3.2 innings in the Twins 11-7 defeat June 13 at Texas...the eight runs mark the most runs he's given up this season and the most since giving up eight on September 12, 2009 at Philadelphia...in fact, he's only given up eight-or-more runs in four of his 195 career starts, with his previous three coming 2009...this is his second time going less than 4.0 innings, the other time being May 3 vs. Chicago-AL when he went 3.1 innings.

ELIAS SAYS: Two starts ago, Mike Pelfrey scattered eight hits over eight innings and Glen Perkins notched his 21st save of the season as the Twins topped the Brewers, 2-0 June 7...Pelfrey has started 194 games during his major-league career, but his June 7 victory was only the third of those starts, and his first since 2010 with the Mets, in which he pitched as many as eight innings without allowing a run. The only current major-league pitchers who have started as many games as Pelfrey without tossing at least one shutout in their careers are Jorge De La Rosa (198 starts) and Chris Young (194).

IN INTERLEAGUE: Pelfrey will be making his 21st Interleague start today and 200th career major league appearance...he is 8-7, 4.73 ERA (116.0 IP, 61 ER), 36 walks and 69 strikeouts... Pelfrey has allowed just one run in 14.0 innings in two Interleague starts this season (at PIT, vs. MIL).

TIME TRAVELING: Pelfrey's current 3.18 ERA would mark the best ERA of his career...in 2010, he had a career-high 15 wins and 3.66 ERA...here's how his numbers stack up from his first 12 starts that year to this year:

Record ERA IP HITS HR BB K AVG

2010 8-1 2.23 80.2 66 3 28 58 .231

2015 5-3 3.18 70.2 74 4 22 34 .277

AGAINST THE CARDINALS: Pelfrey will be making his fifth career appearance and fourth start against the Cardinals, and first since September 20, 2011...in that start, he went 6.0 innings and allowed five runs on 10 hits with no walks and two strikeouts but did not factor in the Mets 11-6 defeat...his last win came July 25, 2008 (7.0-7-1-1-0-5).

DAY AND NIGHT: Pelfrey has made five starts during the day...he is 1-2, 6.57 ERA (24.2 IP, 18 ER), 9 walks and 11 strikeouts compared to a 4-1 record, 1.37 ERA (46.0 IP, 7 ER), 13 walks and 23 strikeouts at night...in fact, his 1.37 ERA at night is second in all of baseball (Chris Young - 1.31).

SUCCESS LIES ON THE GROUND: Pelfrey has induced 15 double plays this season which ranks second in all of baseball behind teammate Kyle Gibson's 16... Pelfrey has induced 127 ground balls in the season, second most on the team (Gibson - 137) and eighth most in the AL...on the season, his 2.27 ground ball/fly ball ratio is seventh best in the AL, while his 55.5 ground ball percentage is third in the AL.

SAY IT AIN'T MAY: In five May starts, Pelfrey went 2-1, 3.21 ERA (28.0 IP, 10 ER), seven walks and 11 strikeouts...he hadn't had a winning May since his 2011, his final season with the Mets...his 3.21 ERA trailed only Kyle Gibson's league-leading 1.36 mark in May...as a Twin, Pelfrey is 3-5, 5.02 ERA (61.0 IP, 34 ER), 22 walks and 32 strikeouts in May compared to going 7-11, 3.92 ERA (163.0 IP, 71 ER), 57 walks and 86 strikeouts in his previous 26 career May starts with the Mets...in his career, Pelfrey's 4.22 ERA (224.0 IP, 105 ER) in May is the second-best of any month (August - 3.70 ERA)...since April 22, a span of seven starts, his 2.36 ERA (42.0 IP, 11 ER) is second-best on the staff (Gibson, 1.54 ERA) and seventh-best in the AL.

2014 RECAP: Pelfrey missed most of 2014 following a season-ending surgery June 10 on his right elbow...he started only five games, going 0-3 with a 7.99 ERA (23.2 IP, 21 ER) before being placed on the 15-day disabled list May 3...he made two rehab starts with Triple-A Rochester May 16-23, going 1-0 with a 0.90 ERA before his season ended for surgery...his nine hits al-lowed vs. Oakland April 10 were the most since September 11, 2013, also against Oakland...ended the season with the birth of his third child, daughter Avery Lane, born the day after the Twins final regular-season game.
