Twins vs Brewers: Minnesota Twins Secure 12th Consecutive Victory with 3-0 Shutout Over Milwaukee Brewers
The Minnesota Twins continued their impressive winning streak, securing their 12th consecutive victory with a 3-0 shutout against the Milwaukee Brewers on May 17, 2025. This win brings the Twins closer to their franchise record of 15 straight wins set in 1991.
Dominant Pitching Performance by Joe Ryan
Starting pitcher Joe Ryan delivered an exceptional performance, allowing only two hits over six scoreless innings. He struck out nine batters and issued just one walk, demonstrating control and precision on the mound. Ryan’s efforts were supported by relievers Brock Stewart, Griffin Jax, and Cole Sands, who combined for seven additional strikeouts to secure the shutout.
Ryan’s recent form has been outstanding, with a record of 3-0 in his last four starts, allowing only two runs over 25 innings.
Early Offensive Support Sets the Tone
The Twins’ offense provided early support, scoring two runs in the first inning. Ty France and Kody Clemens each contributed RBI singles, giving Minnesota an early lead. In the second inning, DaShawn Keirsey Jr. scored on a double-play grounder, extending the lead to 3-0.
Clemens continued his strong performance with a solo home run in the fifth inning, further solidifying the Twins’ lead.
Adapting to Injuries with Depth
The Twins showcased their depth by adapting to recent injuries. Outfielder Byron Buxton and shortstop Carlos Correa were both placed on the concussion injured list following a collision during a previous game. Brooks Lee stepped in for Correa, while Ryan Fitzgerald made his major league debut, replacing Willi Castro, who suffered a knee injury.
Despite these setbacks, the team’s resilience and depth have been key factors in their ongoing success.
Brewers Struggle to Find Momentum
The Milwaukee Brewers faced challenges both offensively and defensively. Rookie pitcher Chad Patrick allowed three runs on eight hits over six innings. The Brewers’ offense managed only three hits and were shut out for the third time in four games.
This loss marks the Brewers’ sixth in their last eight games, highlighting a need for adjustments as they continue the series against the Twins.
Looking Ahead: Twins Aim to Extend Winning Streak
With this victory, the Twins improve their record to 25-20, tying them with the Cleveland Guardians in the American League Central standings. They are now just three wins away from matching their franchise record for consecutive wins.
The Twins will look to continue their momentum in the upcoming games, with right-hander Pablo López scheduled to start the next game against the Brewers’ Tobias Myers.
