MINNEAPOLIS >> There’s been a photo making the rounds on social media platforms of a 3-year-old Jackson Jobe, in a caddy uniform at The Masters at Augusta National, caddying for his PGA pro dad Brandt at the annual Par 3 contest.

Tigers manager AJ Hinch, an avid and proficient golfer himself, just shook his head.

“I’ve never been to Augusta,” Hinch said. “I’m very jealous Jackson was there as a 3-year-old and I have yet to make it as a 50-year-old. Hat tip to him for accomplishing more in life than me on the golf set.”

Jobe on Saturday accomplished something else his manager never has — he earned his first big-league pitcher win.“No. 1,” Jobe said with a big smile.

The rookie right-hander turned in by far his best outing of his young career, limiting the Twins to two hits over six scoreless innings in a 4-0 victory at Target Field that gave the Tigers (9-5) a fourth straight series win.

And for his efforts, he got the traditional postgame beer shower, which consists of getting doused with any and every substance the players can get their hands on, from powder and ointments to all sorts of liquid and assorted food stuff.

“The boys were hyped,” Jobe said. “It was a lot of fun. I got the whole business, everything that consists of.”

Jobe walked leadoff hitter Matt Wallner to start the game, after he was up 0-2 in the count. Then he gave up a single to Willi Castro

And then he went to work.

Jobe sawed the bat off in Carlos Correa’s hands with a 97-mph sinker, struck out lefty-swinging Trevor Larnach on three pitches (curveball, slider, slider) and got Byron Buxton to fly out to left. He was on his way.

“I’m really happy for Jobe,” said catcher Tomas Nido, who celebrated his 31st birthday Saturday by catching a win in his Tigers debut. “We were able to get in sync pretty quick. At first it kind of speeds up, but we able to dial it back in, and he was in control and in command of all his pitches after that.”

Jobe proceeded to dispatch 13 straight Twins before allowing a one-out single to Edouard Julien in the fifth. Jobe promptly erased him, getting Harrison Bader to hit into a 5-4-3 double play.

“After the first inning I just told myself to be in the zone,” said Jobe, who finished his six innings in 87 pitches. “I got ahead of a few guys early and it led to three-ball counts. I just committed to throwing strikes and not chasing strikeouts.”

Also, for the first time in his three starts, he was able to command his full arsenal, mixing more curveballs and sinkers with his standards — the upper-90s four-seamer, slider and changeup.

“The goal overall was to mix more,” Jobe said. “Throw the whole arsenal. Throw certain things to certain guys but for the most part, keep them on their toes and throw all my pitches.”

How’s this for using the entire tool kit: He threw 28 four-seamers (97 mph average velo), 25 sliders, 13 changeups, 12 sinkers and seven curveballs.

“He threw everything, which is how he’s going to pitch,” Hinch said. “Sometimes I think maybe he has too many pitches to play with, but he doesn’t. He needs all of the them against different styles of hitters and he has the ability to mix when he needs to.”

After needing 42 pitches to get through the first two innings, Jobe made short work of the Twins in the third, fourth and fifth innings, needing just 12, 11 and eight pitches.

“I was really happy how he got more aggressive as the game went on,” Hinch said. “Early he was getting ahead and it (ended up) six, seven, eight-pitch at-bats. You’re not going to last very long in the game, just from a pitch-count standpoint.

“Then he really locked in through the middle part of the game. It was a really good outing for him and he gave us time to get our offense going.”

Jobe got some help from his defense, too. Riley Greene took a single away from Correa with a diving catch in center. Trey Sweeney took a single away from Buxton with a slick play and strong throw in the hole at shortstop. Javier Báez made several superb plays at third base.

“We want to be a good team and to be a good team, you have to do it all,” Hinch said. “We did it all today.”

Spencer Torkelson backed Jobe on the offensive side, knocking in three of the runs and scoring two.

In the sixth, Torkelson stayed on a slider from lefty reliever Kody Funderburk and scorched it. The ball left his bat at 107 mph and flew 421 feet off the facing of the second deck in left-center field.

It was Torkelson’s fourth homer of the season and it put the Tigers up 4-0.

“Delivering the big blow is nice, obviously,” Hinch said. “Tork’s ball separated us and gave us a little bit of breathing room. But it took the good at-bats before that to put us in position. We continue to preach good at-bats and it’s a good message. And it’s good the players are all in.”

Twins starter Chris Paddack came in with an ERA just under 15, so a regression to the mean was inevitable. He gave up just two hits in his five innings but the opportunistic Tigers turned both of the hits into runs.

Zach McKinstry, whose hitting streak ended at eight games, led off the first inning with a walk and dashed to third on an infield single by Kerry Carpenter and a subsequent throwing error by Correa.

Torkelson cashed that in with a sacrifice fly to right.

In the fourth, Torkelson led off with a single and Greene walked. Colt Keith moved the runners up with a ground ball to second and Justyn-Henry Malloy drove home Torkelson with another sacrifice fly to right.

“We want to be perfect and I am impressed by how our guys are taking the game plan into the game,” Hinch said. “We got a run early and that was big. A day game after a night game where you are a little sluggish, a little tired, it was a long game last night and we get a run across in the first inning.

“Huge. I thought everybody settled in a little bit.”

Jobe’s phone was blowing up since the game ended.

“I got a bunch of texts,” he said. “Haven’t had a chance to respond to them yet. But, yeah, my family and friends are pumped. It’s pretty awesome.”

The Tigers will go for the sweep Sunday with Casey Mize on the mound.
