Joe Ryan (6-5, 2.85 ERA) took the ball for Minnesota looking to keep his All-Star-caliber year rolling, drawing Ryan Johnson (1-4, 6.75 ERA) for a 1:10 PM CT first pitch. It's about as lopsided a pitching matchup as you'll see on a Saturday slate, with Ryan fresh off naming to his second straight All-Star Game and Johnson still trying to find his footing as a rookie in a beat-up Angels rotation.

Postgame

Twins pulled it out 5-3 behind the better arm, cashing the moneyline pick.

Pregame

Minnesota was the moneyline pick at -164, leaning on Joe Ryan's ace-level form against a rookie in Ryan Johnson still working through a rough season. The Angels have flashed thump lately with Trout back and Adell locked in, which keeps this from being a total lock, but the pitching gap is the widest kind of edge in a single game.

Minnesota's lineup has had its ups and downs of late, but the Twins have gotten by on pitching and timely hits, going 3-2 over their last five before Saturday. The bigger concern is health: Byron Buxton is on the 10-day IL with a hip issue, and the pitching depth chart has taken hit after hit with David Festa, Pablo Lopez and Mick Abel all out for extended stretches. That's forced more innings onto arms like Ryan, who has answered the call every time out.

The Angels, meanwhile, arrived off a wild stretch in Texas — a 13-1 blowout of the Rangers sandwiched between two losses — that snapped a seven-game skid. Mike Trout is back in the lineup after his latest IL stint and Jo Adell has been raking, but a 38-57 record says the offense hasn't been able to paper over the pitching problems often enough.
