His two-run triple capped the biggest portion of the Twins' six-run second inning, and he subsequently scored on a wild pitch before adding an RBI double in the fourth. Keaschall singled in the sixth and later scored on Kody Clemens' two-run homer, leaving him a home run shy of the cycle. It was the second four-hit performance of his career, with his first coming Sept. 4, 2025. Keaschall is ending the regular season on a strong note, as he's hitting .305 with an .822 OPS across 21 games since the beginning of September.
SEPTEMBER 26 • ROTOWIRE
Joe Ryan - Fans eight, earns win Friday Ryan (7-10) earned the win after allowing two runs on four hits and one walk while striking out eight over six innings in Friday's 10-2 victory over the Rangers.

However, Minnesota responded with six runs in the second, and Ryan took control the rest of the way, holding the Rangers scoreless over his final five frames to end a streak of seven starts without a win between July 11 and Sept. 19. Ryan gave up two or fewer runs in three of his final four starts of the season, but he posted a ballooned 6.82 ERA since the All-Star break. In 27 starts this season, Ryan posted a 3.79 ERA and a 1.16 WHIP over 144.2 innings.
