Twins Complete Sweep Over Angels 5-0 Behind Joe Ryan's 11 Strikeouts

Joe Ryan delivered a dominant performance with a season-high 11 strikeouts over seven shutout innings, leading the Minnesota Twins to a 5-0 victory and a three-game sweep of the Los Angeles Angels. Ryan allowed only four hits and one walk, and was supported offensively by Ty France and Ryan Jeffers, who each drove in two runs, with Trevor Larnach adding another RBI. The Twins’ bullpen continued the shutout, with Justin Topa pitching the final two hitless innings. This marked Minnesota's first series sweep of the season and their first three-game win streak since August. The Angels struggled offensively, managing just six hits and dropping their fifth game in six tries, while the Twins concluded a successful homestand with a 5-1 record. Ryan's outing, which featured 26 swings and misses, capped a strong stretch for Minnesota and offered hope for a potential turnaround similar to last season's mid-spring surge.
