Joe Ryan dominates the Brewers, who are shut out for the third time in four games while the Twins win their 12th straight.

It didn’t help that the Brewers fell behind from the start. Chad Patrick allowed three of the first four Twins batters to reach base: he hit Trevor Larnach with a pitch before allowing singles to Ryan Jeffers and Ty France. That put the Brewers behind 1-0. A third single in the inning, this time from Kody Clemens, extended that deficit to 2-0.

The Minnesota Twins held center fielder Byron Buxton and shortstop Carlos Correa out of the lineup on Friday for the opener of a three-game series at Milwaukee, the day after the two stars collided in pursuit of a shallow fly ball and were placed in the concussion protocol.
