Granted, the Guardians' defense made a pair of impressive defensive plays during the second inning that might’ve stolen a run from Minnesota. Williams no-hit Minnesota’s offense through four, and all Twins hitters could muster were three walks in that span. It was a tall order for the bats to maintain the same kind of productivity they’ve had in the first two games of the series – but you also wouldn’t expect them to look so uninspired. Meanwhile, the offense was having a tough time finding its groove against rookie Gavin Williams. Fortunately, for the first portion of the game, that was all the damage Cleveland was able to do against Ryan. Ryan gave up a leadoff ground-rule double to Andrés Giménez, and the Guardians second baseman would wind up scoring after moving to third on a flyout and being driven in by a Will Brennan single. Though he kept Cleveland off the scoreboard in the first, it took him 28 pitches to conclude the inning. However, things didn’t look promising for him to begin this game. Looking to continue his return to form, Joe Ryan took the mound this afternoon after having posted a 1.64 ERA in his two starts since coming off the Injured List.
