00:00Joe Ryan who lives upstairs with
00:03that fastball is on the mound here
00:05for Minnesota today.
00:07Now we mentioned Joe Ryan he grew
00:08up in Marin just across the Golden
00:10Gate Bridge from San Francisco.
00:12Loved the Giants as a kid and the
00:15Giants drafted him in the 39th
00:17round out of high school.
00:19Went down he threw for the Giants
00:21at their ballpark chose not to
00:24sign at that point in time and up
00:26going to Cal State Northridge
00:27eventually transferred to
00:28Stanislaus and he has found
00:30his childhood favorite team a
00:32couple of times now and he's fared
00:34well here at Target Field 2-0 with a
00:36.82 earned run average against the
00:39Giants.
00:39And Mike Yastrzemski stands in the
00:41batter's box we are ready to go
00:42Adrian Johnson says play ball.
00:44This 2-1 is hit in the air pretty
00:47well struck into deep right field
00:49all the way back to the wall and a
00:52jumping effort by Willie Castro
00:54hauls it in for out number one.
00:57This is about as good of an outfield
00:59play as you'll see up against the
01:00wall every inch of Castro times the
01:03jump perfectly and right at the top
01:05base of the wall makes the catch.
01:08For Willie Adamas.
01:11That's right there strike three on a
01:13fastball from Ryan taking up to 95.
01:17This is such a good pitch for Joe Ryan
01:19because hitters set their eye level up
01:21and when he throws that four seamer
01:22especially coming behind the sweeper at
01:24the bottom of the zone they don't pull the
01:26trigger one two three and a couple of fly
01:28ball outs and a strikeout for Joe
01:30Ryan and a scoreless top of the first.
01:32Logan Webb one of the most reliable
01:35starters in Major League Baseball the
01:37last half decade.
01:38Here's Byron he has a 15 game on base
01:40streak he's hit safely in seven of his
01:42eight games in the month of May 2-2.
01:45Tried to check the swing and could not
01:47that sinker ran in and off the plate it
01:49was nasty for strike three Buxton down on
01:51strikes to Trevor Larnick.
01:53Ball pulled foul fair I should say down
01:55the right field line and into the
01:56corner for Trevor Larnick.
01:58Larnick takes a turn at first he's
02:00headed for second base.
02:01Jastrzemski pulls it out of the
02:02corner and it's a one out double for
02:04Trevor Larnick.
02:06Larnick now six for 13 career against
02:09the Giants and he scalded that pitch
02:11and he's in scoring position now for
02:13Ty France two for six against Webb with
02:15a home run.
02:17Swing and a miss strike three that was
02:19a sweeper that didn't have the shape
02:21that France was expecting.
02:24Brooks Lee big swing and miss by Lee's
02:26down on strike so Webb gives up a
02:28double to Larnick and he strikes out
02:30the side 0-0 after one Elliott Ramos
02:33awaits he drives one to deep left
02:37field going back on the ball Bader and
02:39it is gone Elliott Ramos a couple rows
02:43deep into the bleachers and the Giants
02:46take a one nothing lead and what an
02:49absolute blast he knew it right away
02:51the man the beast is heating up it's
02:53one nothing Giants top of the third
02:55Joe Ryan against Patrick Bailey
02:58swing and a miss Bailey goes down on
03:00that split change from Ryan to
03:02Patrick Bailey third strikeout for
03:05Joe Ryan Christian costs the
03:07batter for the Giants wave and a
03:09miss strike three right to the
03:11fastball for strikeouts for Ryan
03:14and he's put it all over the
03:16strike zone one two three inning for
03:18Joe Ryan he skates through a one two
03:20three top of the third one nothing
03:22Giants bottom of the third inning
03:24pitch on the way and he pulls this
03:25one deep into the corner it's got
03:26some carry on it towards the foul
03:28pole and gone for a home run two run
03:31shot for Trevor Larnick he jumps all
03:35over a first pitch and bolts the
03:38twins into the lead it's 2-1
03:39Minnesota he threw him a sweeper and
03:42Larnick cleaned up his sixth of the
03:44year just the second home run given
03:47up all year long by Logan Webb a two
03:50run homer puts Minnesota ahead we go
03:52to the fourth 2-1 twins at two down
03:54bases empty here's Matt Chapman's
03:56Chapman strikes out swinging and that
03:57was the fastball that was right out
03:59over the heart of the plate that's
04:01his fifth in the first four innings
04:03fifth inning of the second game
04:04Wilmer Flores against Joe Ryan and
04:07Wilmer strikes out swinging went with
04:09the fastball and he got him to chase
04:10and infield hit but that's it for the
04:13Giants we're midway through 5-2-1
04:15twins here's Vasquez he throws and
04:18Vasquez strikes out swing he went
04:20right back with that four-seam fast
04:22ball and he got him Aaron Buxton who
04:24struck out twice tonight comes up for
04:26the third time here's 0-2 strike
04:28three looking right down the heart of
04:29the plate that one no argument from
04:31Buck three up three down seven
04:33strikeouts now for Logan Webb he
04:34completed five Ryan hasn't walked
04:36anybody six strikeouts pops it up
04:40might be playable tie France foul
04:42territory first base side and waits
04:45and puts it away he goes six innings
04:47allowed just one run on two it's he
04:49fan seven the one run he allowed was
04:51a solo homer from Elliot Ramos in the
04:53second inning Giants trail two to one
04:55bottom six Brooks Lee taking his lead
04:58away from first here it comes and a
05:00strike call Correa did not like it
05:03sinker Carlos going to walk back and
05:05talk a little bit to the home plate
05:07umpire here comes Rocco out of the
05:09dugout he's tossed Rocco's toss can't
05:11argue balls and strikes as soon as he
05:13took a step out and he's giving him an
05:16earful right here something Rocco
05:18doesn't like that he's watching on the
05:20screen but Adrian's been pretty
05:21consistent he's missed maybe a few but
05:23nothing absurd well got his money's
05:25worth throws his head wow we haven't
05:28seen one of these from a manager in a
05:30minute since the start of last year
05:31nobody has gone seven innings as a
05:34starting pitcher in Major League Baseball
05:36more than Logan Webb Willie Castro leads
05:38off this seventh and slugs a ball for
05:41right field deep into that corner it
05:43goes and that ball rings off the wall
05:47Yastrzemski guns it in and got him an
05:51absolute rifle from Yastrzemski and
05:54right cuts down Castro what a buzzsaw this
05:59is challengeable we'll see Jace Tingler
06:03says review it yeah Castro was not
06:07busting this out of the box this place
06:09should not have been close at second
06:10base too much spectating and not enough
06:13playing right there what a fantastic
06:16throw by Yastrzemski straight over the
06:19top four seamer no tail on this at all
06:22did he get in can't really tell that's
06:25not definitive I haven't seen anything
06:27yet that would overturn that call it's
06:31a huge play in this game it's either a
06:33leadoff double and nobody out or it's
06:37the first out of Logan Webb seventh
06:39inning in a 2-1 game stands so as you
06:42said not enough evidence yeah it's
06:45what I thought I didn't didn't see any
06:46of those angles whether you sync them
06:48up or not give credit to Yastrzemski
06:50there that's just a fabulous throw to
06:52keep his team in this game keep the
06:53score here huge at bat here for
06:55Christian Vasquez you got Bader with
06:57speed at second if Vasquez can find a
07:00little grass over the head of the
07:01infield got a chance to make this a
07:03two run lead two balls and two strikes
07:05to Christian Vasquez infields deep all
07:08the way around he swings and misses
07:10chased up and out of the zone it's
07:11strikeout number nine for Logan Webb on
07:15pitch number 103 tonight and he is
07:17through the seventh with the twins lead
07:18still just two to one but Cole Sands is
07:21on a pitch for the twins here in the
07:22eighth inning Sands will get Ramos and
07:24Elliott Ramos tough out has the only
07:26two hits in the ball game so far for
07:29the San Francisco Giants three and two
07:30here it comes Ramos drives one out
07:33towards right center field hit well
07:34Castro turns watches it's off the wall
07:38Elliott speeding towards second and
07:40he'll make it there with a lead off
07:42double the Giants have three hits
07:44Elliott Ramos has three hits and he's
07:48cycle watch now he's got a homer a
07:50single and a double this an absolute
07:52right center 3 2 count and that is the
07:55lead off runner you need on when
07:57you're just down one run Bailey on
08:00deck big spot here for Wade and the
08:01Giants tying run and scoring
08:03position and Lamont drives it to
08:05center field Buxton going back still
08:07going back he'll catch tagging
08:09Ramos and he's going to sprint to
08:11third and make it there the throw
08:13cut off by the shortstop Correa so
08:15Lamont that was a team at bat he got
08:18Ramos to third with only one out throw
08:21down to third is in time oh man
08:25Vasquez cuts down Ramos what a
08:29reaction incredible play and
08:33communication watch Lewis at third
08:35base he's going right away there's no
08:37surprise on either end I got to
08:39believe there was at least eye
08:40contact here both catcher third
08:42baseman on time on alert what a play
08:46doesn't get any bigger for a catcher
08:48unreal everything's coming up twins
08:51they're up 2-1 Duran this year is
08:55six for six and save opportunities in
08:57eighteen games it's the tying run
08:59aboard for Yastrzemski who's 0 for
09:01three 2-2 on the ground right back to
09:04him Duran to second for one the turn is
09:07there it's a double play you gotta give
09:10Duran credit here once you let the
09:12ball go you're an infielder he's on
09:13the slope of the mound steps into the
09:15throw and throws an absolute strike to
09:17Correa at second base here's a
09:19Damas one more hurdle to clear this
09:21crowd on its feet it would be win
09:23number seven in a row and it would
09:25get the twins back to 500 no balls two
09:27strikes here's the pitch taken for a
09:30cold strike three and the twins shake
09:33hands on win number seven in a row the
