Blue Jays seek series win as Joe Ryan exits early at Twins
sportsMay 3, 202626128
Twins starter Joe Ryan exited after facing two batters and throwing nine pitches in Minneapolis, leaving the game after calling for the trainer following a four-ball to Kazuma Okamoto. The Blue Jays started Tyler Yesavage and had Kazuma Okamoto and Twins outfielder Byron Buxton set for another matchup as Toronto looks to close the three-game weekend series. Brandon Valenzuela was scratched from the Blue Jays' lineup Sunday, and Ryan's early departure forces Minnesota to turn to its bullpen, boosting Toronto's chance to clinch the series.
