Joe Ryan finishes season strong as Twins beat Rangers

On Friday night at Target Field, Minnesota Twins pitcher Joe Ryan struck out eight batters over six innings to secure a 10-2 victory against the Texas Rangers, who are contending for the American League West title.
Manager Derek Shelton described Ryan's 2026 campaign as a "story of two seasons," noting the pitcher thrived as an All-Star in the first half before battling injuries and a difficult second half.
Supporting the pitching effort, Royce Lewis and Luke Keaschall drove in two runs each in the second inning against Jacob, while Kody Clemens added his 27th home run of the season.
Despite the team's 75-84 record and official elimination from postseason contention, the organization views Ryan's late-season health as a critical building block for success in the upcoming year.
Recording 151 strikeouts against only 30 walks over 138.2 innings, Ryan concludes his 2026 workload with strong command, providing the organization with optimism heading into next year.
