Game notes: Pineda squares off against his former team after throwing five scoreless innings against another former team, the New York Yankees, on Thursday. He hasn’t faced the Twins since he had back-to-back starts vs. the Minnesota in 2016.
Ryan allowed two runs in four innings and was saddled with the loss in his first start of the season, but since then, he’s given up just one run in 12 innings while striking out 12. The Tigers roughed him up in his final start of 2021, scoring six runs — powered by two walks, six hits and two home runs — in 4⅔ innings.
