Fans six in win Ryan (5-2) earned the win Saturday, allowing one run on five hits and two walks over 5.2 innings against the Royals. He struck out six.
Impact Ryan was efficient, facing 24 batters and retiring 17 on just 79 pitches. In another era, Ryan may have gone deeper into the contest, but manager Rocco Baldelli decided to play the matchups in the sixth inning with the bases loaded. Ryan has allowed two runs over 11.2 innings with an 11:2 K:BB in his last two starts since his four-run hiccup against Houston back on May 10. He has a sparkling 2.28 ERA overall this season.

Struggles against Astros Ryan (3-2) was tagged with the loss Tuesday after he pitched four innings, giving up four runs on four hits and five walks while striking out three against the Astros.
Impact Ryan struggled with his command Tuesday, throwing only 56 of his 90 pitches for strikes and walking a season-high five batters. Jeremy Pena delivered an RBI groundout in the second inning and later added an RBI single in the fourth frame, accounting for the first two runs on the 25-year-old's line. The last two runs came around to score in the fifth inning without Ryan recording an out, the second of which scored score after he had left the game on a Yordan Alvarez sacrifice fly against Danny Coulombe. After giving up one total run over 19 innings with 21 punchouts in his previous three starts, the right-hander has surrendered six runs over 8.2 innings while only striking out six in his last two outings. Ryan's season-long numbers now sit at a still impressive 2.56 ERA and 1.01 WHIP with 31 strikeouts in 31.2 innings over six starts. He tentatively lines up to toe the rubber next at home Sunday against the Guardians.

Just short of win Ryan tossed 4.2 innings, allowing two runs on six hits and a walk while striking out three in the win over the Orioles on Tuesday. He did not factor into the decision.
Impact The 25-year-old allowed a season-high seven baserunners in this one, ultimately giving up two earned runs. Ryan surrendered his first run in the bottom of the fourth inning after Tyler Nevin reached on a fielding error, scoring Austin Hays from third base in the process. He allowed another run the next inning when Trey Mancini singled, bringing Cedric Mullens across to tie the contest a 2-2. The runs were his first surrendered since April 15 and due to the fact that Ryan failed to finish the fifth inning, he did not qualify for the victory after the Twins took the lead the in the top of the sixth frame. The right-hander now sports a 1.63 ERA and 0.83 WHIP with 28 punchouts over 27.2 innings this season.
