Joe Ryan

Joe Ryan delivered five innings of one-run ball and struck out eight against the Mets on Monday.

Ryan had the same line as Clay Holmes — they even both had eight strikeouts and two walks — but he was left with a no-decision and Holmes got the win after the Mets took a lead in the top of the sixth. Ryan’s sweeper was ridiculously effective tonight, accounting for seven whiffs, 13 strikes and one ball the 14 times he threw it. He might need to mix that in more frequently against the Braves on Sunday.

Simeon Woods Richardson shut out the Astros for five innings in a no-decision Sunday.

A nice rebound for Woods Richardson, who gave up six earned runs to the Rangers in his return to the majors Tuesday. He allowed just one hit, walked one and struck out four while lowering his ERA to 5.13 today. The Twins will have him face the Brewers at home next weekend.

Jhoan Duran took his second blown save of the year after allowing a run in the ninth Sunday against the Astros.

The Astros scratched out a run against Duran with a leadoff walk, a steal, a soft infield single and a sac fly. Even the walk was suspect, as both ball three and four could have been called strikes. Duran, who also gave up a run and took a loss Saturday, didn’t do much wrong in this one.

Harrison Bader

Harrison Bader fanned all four times up Sunday in the loss to the Astros.

Bader greatly exceeded expectations offensively over the first two months of the season, but regression seems to have set in now; he’s hitting .171/.250/.314 with 16 strikeouts in 40 plate appearances during June. Assuming that Byron Buxton is fine, Bader is probably in line to do more sitting against righties until he heats back up.
