Twins win 12th straight game as Joe Ryan dominates on the mound

In May 2025, the Minnesota Twins, a professional baseball team in the United States, achieved an impressive milestone by winning their 12th consecutive game. This accomplishment took place during a match against the Milwaukee Brewers, where Joe Ryan, a pitcher for the Twins, displayed remarkable skill on the mound. He allowed only two hits while striking out nine batters across six innings, contributing significantly to the Twins' victory with a score of 3-0. This win solidified the Twins' dominance on the field and marked an extension of their streak of holding opponents scoreless for a total of 24 innings. The winning streak is particularly noteworthy as it places the Twins amongst the top performing teams in Major League Baseball. Prior to this streak, the Twins had been struggling and were seven games under the .500 mark. However, the team managed to turn their season around, showcasing resilience and skill. Their recent run mirrors their performance the previous season, when they also achieved a 12-game winning streak, making them the first team since the Cleveland franchise to accomplish such a feat in consecutive years. The backdrop of this success can also be attributed to the talent and efforts of various players beyond Joe Ryan. Other key contributors included Ty France and Kody Clemens, who had timely RBI singles that set the pace for the game’s score early on. Following the Twins' early lead, they secured the game with solid performances not just from starters but also from the relief pitching squad, including Brock Stewart, Griffin Jax, and Cole Sands, ensuring the Brewers were shut out a total of three times in four games. As the Twins continue their robust performance, fans and analysts are left to wonder if they can challenge the record for the longest winning streak in team history, which is 15 games set back in 1991. The journey of the current season is revealing a competitive spirit, and with the capability shown in their recent games, many believe that this year could be a significant one for the Twins in Major League Baseball. The excitement surrounding the team is palpable as they head into the next match against their rivals, prepared to continue their impressive momentum.
