The Minnesota Twins secured their 12th consecutive victory, matching the second-longest winning streak in team history, with a 3-0 shutout against the Milwaukee Brewers. This ties previous 12-game streaks from last year and 1980, just shy of the franchise's record 15-game streak during their 1991 World Series season.

Despite key players like Carlos Correa, Byron Buxton, and Harrison Bader being sidelined, and Willi Castro exiting early due to a knee injury, the Twins continue to excel. Joe Ryan delivered six scoreless innings, continuing his dominant pitching streak over the past month. Ryan allowed only two hits and one walk while striking out nine batters. The Twins' bullpen, featuring Brock Stewart, Griffin Jax, and Cole Sands, contributed seven strikeouts over three innings. The bullpen has collectively allowed only one earned run over its past 10 games, resulting in a 0.25 ERA across 35⅓ innings.

Manager Rocco Baldelli emphasized the team's depth, noting the ability of every player to step up. Ryan Jeffers highlighted the team's trust in each other, as the Twins became the first team since Cleveland in 2016-17 to achieve a 12-game winning streak in consecutive seasons.

The Twins took an early lead, scoring two runs in the first inning against Brewers rookie Chad Patrick. Ty France drove in a run with a single, and Kody Clemens added another with a two-out single. They added another run in the second inning when Jeffers grounded into a double play with the bases loaded. Ryan navigated a challenging first inning, stranding two runners. He then struck out six consecutive batters before hitting Christian Yelich with a pitch in the fourth. Key defensive plays, including a sliding stop by Royce Lewis, supported Ryan's performance.

Ryan, who has lowered his season's ERA to 2.42 through 52 innings, has been pitching at an elite level, allowing only two runs over his past four starts while striking out 35 batters in 25 innings. Baldelli praised Ryan's consistent excellence, noting his ace-level performance over the past two seasons.
