Harrison limited the Twins to one run over 5⅓ innings to earn his first win since a three-week absence with a sprained ankle.
San Francisco Giants pitcher Kyle Harrison throws to a Minnesota Twins batter during the first inning of a baseball game Friday, July 12, 2024, in San Francisco. SAN FRANCISCO — With Twins on second and third, Kyle Harrison craned his neck toward the Giants dugout after recording the first out of the sixth inning and let out a sigh. He directed his gaze toward the sky when he saw manager Bob Melvin making his way toward the mound.
Reliever Ryan Walker allowed one of the two inherited runners to score in the sixth, but otherwise Harrison held the American League playoff hopefuls scoreless through the game’s first five innings, striking out only three but exhausting just 83 pitches when Melvin emerged from the dugout with one out in the sixth.
Ryan, among the American League leaders in ERA and strikeouts, had a large cheering section behind the first-base dugout, who watched the Sir Francis Drake graduate put his team in an early hole and eventually lose his command, allowing five runs on six hits while walking three over 5⅓ innings. The terrific play from the 25-year-old shortstop helped blunt any lingering resentment in Carlos Correa’s first game in San Francisco since his free-agent megadeal fell apart two winters ago. Downplaying the stakes beforehand, Correa went 1-for-4 and scored the Twins’ only run.
