Diagnosed with cancer when he was just 9 years old, Devin Smeltzer added another chapter to his inspiring comeback story, pitching six shutout innings in his debut to help the Minnesota Twins beat the Brewers 5-3 Tuesday night.

The 23-year-old Smeltzer allowed three hits, walked none and struck out seven. He exited with the game scoreless and got a no-decision.

Matt Magill (1-0) tossed a scoreless inning and Ryne Harper got the final out for his first career save.

Eddie Rosario homered and Max Kepler added a two-run double for Minnesota, which has won 12 of 14 and has the best record in the majors.
