Despite allowing zero hits during the contest, management decided to pull him due to his high pitch count. Joe Ryan was already at over 100 pitches, and it was simply not worth it for the rookie pitcher on a playoff team to potentially get hurt.EasterbysBurner (Andrew)@MoneyMillsSZN@luisxxo @JeffPassan personally i wouldn’t want my ace for the future to need tommy john surgery over a no hitter, what’s the problem?7@luisxxo @JeffPassan personally i wouldn’t want my ace for the future to need tommy john surgery over a no hitter, what’s the problem?EKOMS@ranked27@JeffPassan Ahh… that’s a tough one. It’s a lot of pitches for a rookie.@JeffPassan Ahh… that’s a tough one. It’s a lot of pitches for a rookie.This game was not eventful offensively at first, and it is safe to say that Joe Ryan played a large part in that. The Minnesota Twins scored first by putting up two in the bottom of the third thanks to RBI's by Carlos Correa and Jose Miranda. They followed by scoring three in the fifth after a two-run shot by Correa and a solo shot by Jose Miranda.The Kansas City Royals were held scoreless until the ninth inning when they put up three runs. This was after Twins reliever Jovani Moran gave up a string of hits in the ninth. It is very unusal to turn seven innings of zero hits into a competitive game, but the Royals managed to do just that.jvhein@jvhein2@JeffPassan Rocco needs to go. Their bullpen is awful and nearly blew a 6 run lead.2@JeffPassan Rocco needs to go.
