Chris Paddack had a perfect game through the first 17 batters he faced, helping the Twins run their streak to six.

Chris Paddack took a three-hitter into the eighth inning, and the Minnesota Twins beat the San Francisco Giants 3-1 on Friday night for their sixth straight victory. Matt Chapman homered with two outs in the seventh to spoil the shutout bid for Paddack (1-3),

But the right-hander’s dominant performance led the Twins to their sixth-straight victory nonetheless, a 3-1 win over the San Francisco Giants on Friday night at Target Field. “He came out firing. He was all over the strike zone. He made stuff happen,” manager Rocco Baldelli said. “I mean, he was awesome. That was like guns blazing.”
