Joe Ryan didn't factor into the decision in Friday's 3-2 loss to the Brewers, allowing one earned run on four hits and a walk while striking out seven batters over six innings.
Ryan ran into some trouble right out of the gate, allowing a leadoff double to Jackson Chourio, who later came around to score on a single from William Contreras.
Ryan was able to quickly regain his composure on the mound afterward, allowing just three batters to reach base and no more runs through the sixth inning.
Now with three quality starts in his last four outings, the 29-year-old righty will aim to extend his hot streak next week when he faces an Astros lineup that's posted a .654 OPS since the beginning of May.
Twins Notes
Taj Bradley: Throws Bullpen Session
Bradley (pectoral) threw a bullpen session Friday, per Aaron Gleeman of AaronGleeman.com.
Trevor Larnach: Out With Upper-Back Tightness
Larnach is out of the lineup Friday against the Brewers due to upper-back tightness, per Dan Hayes of The Athletic.
This explains why Larnach isn't in the lineup against right-hander Coleman Crow despite Byron Buxton (hip) also missing a second straight game. James Outman and Ryan Kreidler are getting starts in the outfield alongside Austin Martin.
