The losing streak has now reached a season-high eight games after getting blown out 12-4 by the Minnesota Twins on Saturday afternoon at Target Field.

After getting dealt their eighth consecutive loss at the hands of the Twins, the Pirates dropped to 10,877-10,877 across their entire 144-year history.

Ryan escaped the first inning of an eventual 2-1 win without allowing a run, but only after the Pirates loaded the bases with two outs, and the Twins’ starter needed 34 pitches to get back to the dugout. He joked after the game that 34 pitches is fine for the first three innings, but a bit much for the first inning alone.

The Minnesota Twins jumped out to an early lead over the Pittsburgh Pirates thanks to a big swing from Kody Clemens, followed by a bat flip.
