JOE RYAN NEWS

Tosses quality start Saturday Ryan didn't factor into the decision in Saturday's 9-4 win over the Blue Jays, giving up three runs on six hits and a walk over six innings. He struck out four.

Impact The right-hander delivered his 10th quality start of the season on 84 pitches (56 strikes), but Ryan exited the game in line for his fourth loss before Minnesota's bats came alive in the late innings. He'll take a 2.90 ERA and 84:15 K:BB through 77.2 innings into his next outing, likely to come at home next weekend against the Tigers.

Terrific effort not enough for win Ryan (7-3) was dealt a tough-luck loss against the Guardians on Sunday, allowing two runs on two hits and a walk while striking out four over 6.2 innings.

Impact Ryan was cruising and had faced the minimum through 6.2 frames before walking Jose Ramirez and surrendering an RBI double to Josh Naylor for the first run of the game for either team. He was then replaced by Caleb Thielbar, who immediately allowed a triple to Andres Gimenez. Those two runs were enough to hand Ryan the loss despite a late rally from the Twins. The 27-year-old returned to dominant form after a blunder against the Astros earlier in the week, and now sits at a 2.76 ERA, 0.95 WHIP and 80:14 K:BB over 71.2 innings. He'll look to get back in the win column in a road test against the Blue Jays next weekend.

Stung by long ball in loss Ryan (7-2) took the loss Tuesday against the Astros, allowing five runs on four hits and three walks while striking out six over four innings.

Impact Ryan gave up two homers in the second frame, amounting to three runs for the Astros, and then surrendered a pair of runs in the third. He managed to go less than five innings for the first time all year and hadn't given up more than three earned runs since April 19. His three walks allowed were also his worst mark on the season thus far. Coming into Tuesday, Ryan had allowed just four home runs, which was tied for fourth lowest in baseball among all pitchers with at least 60 innings thrown. It was a bit of an uncharacteristic night for the 27-year-old, though he still managed to generate 14 whiffs. He now holds a 2.77 ERA, 1.00 WHIP and 76:13 K:BB over 65 innings and will look to get back on track in a projected home start against the Guardians over the weekend.

Picks up seventh win Ryan (7-1) earned the win Wednesday, allowing one run on six hits and two walks over five innings during a 7-1 loss to the Giants. He struck out four.

Impact Ryan allowed one or fewer runs for the fifth time this year but completed a season-low five innings, ending his streak of seven straight quality starts. Despite the labored outing, he still picked up his seventh win and holds a 2.21 ERA across 10 appearances (61 innings). Ryan's four strikeouts Wednesday tied his second-lowest mark of the campaign, but his 70:10 K:BB remains elite. The soon-to-be 27-year-old's next start is projected during a three-game set in Houston.

Turns in solid outing Ryan did not factor into the decision Friday, allowing three runs (two earned) on seven hits and one walk over six innings against the Angels. He struck out nine.

Impact Ryan now has 19 strikeouts and just two walks over his last two outings. The right-hander also ranks third in the league with a stingy 0.89 WHIP, and is tied for second with six wins. The 26-year-old is tentatively slated to to face the Giants at home in his next appearance.

Fans 10 in win over Cubs Ryan (6-1) picked up the win in Saturday's 11-1 rout of the Cubs, scattering four hits and a walk over six scoreless innings. He struck out 10.

Impact The right-hander didn't let a runner get past second base and tied his season high in strikeouts in another dominant performance, generated 36 called or swinging strikes among his 102 pitches. Ryan has reeled off six straight quality starts and seven in eight outings to begin the season, and he'll take a 2.16 ERA, 0.84 WHIP and 57:7 K:BB through 50 innings into his next start, likely to come on the road next weekend against the Angels.

Takes loss despite quality start Ryan (5-1) took the loss Sunday, allowing two runs on eight hits over six innings during a 2-0 loss to Cleveland. He struck out four and did not walk a batter.

Impact Ryan surrendered three straight singles to start the game and escaped the opening frame with two runs allowed. After the rocky first, he scattered four hits across five scoreless innings but still suffered his first loss, as Cleveland's pitching staff combined for a one-hit shutout. Sunday's outing marked just the third time over seven starts that Ryan has allowed multiple earned runs, and his 47:6 K:BB through 44 innings remains elite. The right-hander will look to continue his stellar beginning to the campaign next time out, which is tentatively scheduled for a three-game weekend set versus the Cubs.

Nearly unhittable over six frames Ryan allowed no runs on just one hit and two walks while striking out seven over six innings Tuesday against the White Sox. He did not factor into the decision.

Impact Ryan was rolling through the White Sox order. He had six strikeouts through four innings and finished with at least seven strikeouts for the fourth time in six starts. The lone hit he gave up was to Gavin Sheets in the second inning. He concluded his outing with a 12-pitch battle to Tim Anderson, which ultimately ended in a walk, before he got Andrew Benintendi to ground into a 4-6-3 double play to end the inning. He finished with 87 pitches and likely could have continued into the seventh, but manager Rocco Baldelli noted after the game that Ryan's velocity noticeably dropped from 93.3 MPH versus Anderson to 89.8 MPH versus Benintendi. With the heart of the order due up, Baldelli didn't want to risk putting Ryan back out on the bump when he could tell Ryan was running out of gas. The 26-year-old has been as dominant as they come so far this season. He now boasts a 2.37 ERA and is tied atop the league with a 0.76 WHIP to go with a 43:6 K:BB over 38 innings. He'll look to rack up his sixth win of the year in his next projected start against the Guardians over the weekend.

Misses out on two-start week Ryan is no longer scheduled to start Sunday's game against the Royals, as Sonny Gray is now in line to start the final contest of the Twins' homestand.

Impact After both Gray and Ryan started on Monday and Tuesday, respectively, versus the Yankees, the right-handers both appeared on track to make two starts during the Twins' seven-game week. However, with Kenta Maeda suffering a triceps strain in his start Thursday and landing on the injured list a day later, the Twins called up Bailey Ober from Triple-A St. Paul in a corresponding move and will quickly plug him into the rotation Saturday rather than waiting to use him the next time Maeda's turn came up. As a result, all the Twins' other four starters have been pushed back a day, resulting in only Gray getting a two-start week. Ryan should still line up for a two-step next week, as he's expected to face the White Sox on the road on Tuesday before starting the series finale in Cleveland next Sunday.

Fires seven strong frames Ryan (5-0) earned the win Tuesday against the Yankees, allowing two runs (one earned) on seven hits and no walks across seven innings. He struck out seven.

Ryan dominated the zone and threw 72 of his 91 pitches for strikes, generating 14 whiffs. He's gone at least six frames in all five of his starts this season and has a 2.81 ERA, 0.81 WHIP and 36:4 K:BB across 32 innings.
