**Headline: Twins Extend Winning Streak to 12 Games, Blank Brewers Behind Ryan’s Dominance**
**MILWAUKEE, WI –** The Minnesota Twins continued their scorching streak, securing their 12th consecutive victory with a 3-0 shutout of the Milwaukee Brewers on Friday night. Joe Ryan spearheaded the effort, pitching six stellar innings, allowing only two hits, striking out nine, and walking one.
The Twins’ pitching staff extended their scoreless streak to an impressive 24 innings. The team’s offense provided early support, with Ty France and Kody Clemens driving in runs with singles in the first inning. A double-play grounder in the second inning added another run to the Twins’ total.
Ryan, now 4-2, was dominant, striking out the side in both the second and third innings. The bullpen trio of Brock Stewart, Griffin Jax, and Cole Sands secured the victory, with Sands earning his second save.
This win marks the second consecutive year the Twins have achieved a 12-game winning streak, a feat last accomplished by Cleveland in 2016 and 2017. After beginning the season seven games under .500, the Twins now boast a 25-20 record and are chasing their longest winning streak of 15 games set by the 1991 World Series team.
The Brewers struggled offensively, suffering their third shutout in four games. Chad Patrick (2-4) pitched six innings for Milwaukee, allowing three runs.
The series continues Saturday with Pablo López (3-2, 2.77 ERA) taking the mound for the Twins against Tobias Myers (1-0, 3.86) for the Brewers.
