Joe Ryan pitched well for the Twins, going six innings with two runs allowed, but the team lost to the Reds 2-1. The decisive runs came in the fourth inning due to a throwing error and a home run by Eugenio SuĂĄrez.
Joe Ryan turned in his second consecutive quality start, going six innings and allowing two runs â one earned â on three hits. Both of those runs came in the fourth inning.
Ryan allowed a one-out double to Elly De La Cruz before a Ryan Kreidler throwing error put a second runner on. The next batter, Eugenio SuĂĄrez, hammered a sweeper out of the zone to left-center field, bringing home both of the runners to give the Reds the lead.
SuĂĄrez had the big swing in a game that was well-pitched on both sides. The third baseman finished with two of his teamâs four hits on the night.
SuĂĄrez also made a nice sliding grab on a Luke Keaschall ground ball in the seventh inning when the Twins had a pair of runners on, popping quickly to his feet and throwing out a hustling Keaschall out to end the threat.
The Twins had a prime opportunity in the fifth inning to break through off starter Brandon Williamson, a southern Minnesota native, after he walked the bases loaded.
They did get one run out of the situation with Austin Martinâs sacrifice fly, which right fielder Will Benson made a sliding catch to snag. But they couldnât do any more damage than that, as Keaschall hit into an inning-ending double play.
It was part of a tough night for Keaschall, who struck out looking with the bases loaded in the third inning â a challenge revealed the pitch just clipped the zone â and also stranded the pair of runners in the seventh as part of an 0 for 4 day.
