The stage is set for a fun Friday night at Target Field featuring Ryan vs. fellow All-Star Paul Skenes and a postgame concert.
Minnesota Twins starter Joe Ryan was named an American League All-Star after all on Wednesday, replacing Hunter Brown on the roster for the game next Tuesday in the suburbs outside Atlanta.
The Twins (-119 moneyline odds to win) square off against the Pirates (-101) in a projected tight contest. The scheduled starters are Joe Ryan (8-4) for the Minnesota Twins, and Paul Skenes (4-7) for the Pittsburgh Pirates.
If you haven’t seen what Joe Ryan has been doing for the Twins this season, he has singlehandedly kept the starters room afloat. He has elevated himself as the Twins go-to guy and is now called upon to go toe-to-toe with one of the games most exciting arms in Pirates Paul Skenes.
