Joe Ryan delivered a stellar performance for the Minnesota Twins, pitching seven innings with just two hits and two runs allowed against the Houston Astros. However, even Ryan's efforts couldn't prevent the Twins from succumbing to a dramatic 3-2 walk-off loss, marking their third consecutive defeat. Astros pitcher Hunter Brown also shone, matching Ryan with a seven-inning outing of his own and striking out 12 batters.

In what was a tightly contested game, both teams struggled to find offensive rhythm, with the game tied at 2-2 after Brooks Lee hit a crucial homer in the fifth. Ultimately, it was a clutch single from Cam Smith that brought home the winning run in the ninth against Twins closer Jhoan Duran.
