Ryan wins for 7th time in 8 decisions, Clemens hits 9th homer and Twins beat Mariners 2-0

Joe Ryan led the Minnesota Twins to a 2-0 victory over the Seattle Mariners on June 25, winning his seventh game out of eight decisions. Ryan showcased his skills by allowing just three hits over six innings, striking out eight batters while walking none. Kody Clemens contributed significantly with a solo home run in the seventh inning, marking his ninth of the season. Willi Castro drove in the go-ahead run earlier, helping the Twins end a five-game losing streak and improve their record to 38-42. The Mariners, who had won three straight games, fell to 41-38 despite George Kirby's solid performance, allowing only one run and three hits in six innings.

Key moments included Ryan striking out home run leader Cal Raleigh and inducing a crucial double play. The victory stopped Minnesota's six-game home skid, their longest at Target Field since 2016. The Twins will face Seattle again with RHP Simeon Woods Richardson starting against Emerson Hancock in the series finale.
