Royce Lewis, Joe Ryan interviews from Twins clubhouse ahead of series opener vs. Guardians

Watch interviews with Twins 1B Royce Lewis and SP Joe Ryan ahead of Friday’s series opener vs. Cleveland. Ryan made his return earlier this week in a start in Detroit after missing a month (left glute strain). Ryan will start again on Sunday vs. Cleveland. The Twins are an American League-worst 13-22 since Aug. 1. After a series opening win over Seattle on July 31, the Twins were 56-55 and very much alive in the playoff picture. But they have free-fallen since then. Right now at 69-77, the Twins are six games back of the division lead and 4.5 games back of the final wild-card spot.
