D-backs vs. Twins Game Highlights (9/13/25) | MLB Highlights | Arizona Diamondbacks
Ryan, much like ryan Nelson lives and dies with that four seam fastball. They are very similar pitchers in that regard. Joe Ryan mentioned many times before one of the best fastballs in all of baseball, switch batting check swing and he went pitch, he was sped up so that fastball in one pitch can set up the next one. The fastball in on the previous pitch, you know, an inch or two off the inside corner sped him up as a hitter, you don’t want to get jammed, you kind of have an idea here is he was unavailable last night since fouling that ball off his right foot. Wednesday in San francisco. 32 takes a deflection off the mound kicks to the right of second, the shortstop brooks Lee with a course correction fields and throws to first in time. The first two are retired and here is Carroll cars base foul territory. Pereda over there, Lewis over there. It’s kind of Johnny Pereda in the frying pan of the catcher’s glove sticks it out in front of him. Ryan to ryan Nelson. We talked a lot about Ryno’s high fastball. Either up or down. Don’t leave any in the middle. We’ve seen him drive that fastball down to the knees from time to time up or down. Nothing in the middle and be efficient. There is the long time twin in the leadoff spot. Bayern Buxton first pitch is knocked into left center. Buxton is now hitting six straight games. 13 of his last 14, he’s on fire these days, a single for Byron Buxton and he is at first base. He is sitting on 115 stolen bases in the next bag he grabs. It might be right here in the first inning. Left fielder again is austinMartín. Martín. Now at 291 on the year was on base last night’s game, he jumps on the first one. Thomas Drips over to right center and collects it and that’s the first out for Nelly. He’s only throwing two pitches, a pattern two balls and a strike on Trevor nick double play ball right to Marte for a one and they roll it a quick first to ryan Nelson. We’re here at Target field in downtown Minneapolis scoreless after one. That was a good story for Arizona since coming off the injured list, Gabriel Moreno smoke to center and a line drive single, bring up Adrian Del Castillo, the Diamondbacks DH Once again, the 22 from Ryan struck him out 95. Well, you know, you’ve got a good fastball hitters know what’s coming. They’re expected it, especially with two strikes. Top of the zone and they still can’t get to. It plays Alexander broken bat, the roller up the middle puts Lee over to grab it, throws to first base, not quite in time and Alexander is going to be safe at first. It was such a slow rolling ball that brooks as he grabbed it behind the bag at second. Couldn’t go to second for the four shot. So two outs and here’s Tim Tawa and just outside and ryan thought he made his pitch instead it is ball four. Talk about passing the baton to the guy behind you. That was a tremendous at bat. That’s going to get Pete Mackey , the pitching coach out to the mound for the twins and as tower loads the bases down for jake mccarthy after a 14 pitch first inning, he’s now thrown 28 pitches in the second and the bags are full. Joe ryan walks off the mound looks very unhappy mccarthy toasts it down the line, hang on , hang on and he just missed a grand slam. They just said, hang on mccarthy’s still rounding the bases to, he’s trying to get his attention here. You couldn’t convince him he was all the way to second base and rounding to third before he believed it was a foul. 0 to 2 on mccarthy. He struck him out 96. So nearly hit a grand slam and on the next pitch, Ryan hands his third and leaves and loaded in the top of the second is going to be Luke Nelson ready and the pitch grounded to third and momentarily picked up by Alexander throw to first. First pitch reached on an arrow and now Lewis swings and rolls one through the left side for a base hit wasn’t fancy, but that will play for Royce Lewis is out at 1st and 2nd now and nobody’s out for cody Clemens four for 43 home runs, a double drove in 5, 14 total bases last night tying Kirby Puckett for the most ever by a twin in a single game in team history. Flair shallow left field mccarthy racing in can’t reach it. It’s down and everyone is going to move up 90 ft. Well, right now the twins, the beneficiaries of some batted ball lock, they have loaded the bases here to begin the bottom of inning. Number two. George do brooks. Lee is the hitter hug strikes out Lee at 98 the belt time fastball, but when he’s needed a little extra, it seems like he’s got that 98 in the tank that fastball gets on you in a hurry. And now Johnny Pereda right hand hitting catcher swing and a miss struck him out 98. Go get it and he could not back to back case for Nelson with the bases loaded, back to back strikeouts of leon Pereda. And now it’s up to James Nelson gets a gold star and as the Diamondbacks hit in the top of the inning. The twins do in the bottom of the inning. They leave them loaded. Number 10 to Adrian, Del Castillo all the way from joe ryan gets this up in the air deep to right center. It’s got some carry to it and it’s off the base of the wall for Del Castillo who’s got himself a leadoff double. Adrian, what a contrast in these two styles, the twins have come out and swung at nearly every first pitch with Ryan Nelson’s throw. He’s at second for blaze. He singled his first time up. Ground ball is shortstop, backhanded by Lee. He’ll come up one hop to first in time runner does not advance to third on a ground out. Diamondbacks and base and loaded two outs in the second. Couldn’t get a run. He had a runner at second with two outs in the third. Could not score position here in the fourth. Thomas. This one lean into that one. Thomas, it’s his ninth of the year. It’s his first homer in six weeks and the new jump out in front 20 and that was definitely in the parking lot with the old one go out there in right field. That ball was absolutely demolished up last night’s hero Cody Clemens who so far in the series is five for five hit high in the air right field might have a chance. Carroll back on the warning track under the overhang and that ball is, oh, that’s enough for nearly. And another one, Cody Clemens and a four pitch walk. Here we go. Works it after walking. Austin Martín on 13 pitches. Larn does so on four. Here comes luke Shaw off to the , that’s exactly what Ryan Nelson can pick up his teammates here, check swing and Lewis down on strikes and the inning comes to an end. So Nelson once again works out of trouble. He has struck out four and the twins have the bases full for guess who do Clemons last night drove in six. He’s got the bags packed base hit to right. Martín scores. Here comes Khaw heading home. He will score Lewis to third and Clemens delivers again an eight game tied two run single. It is 22 at target field. We thought last time we might remember it as the Clemons game. We might remember. This is the cody Clemons series back with two out runners and the pitch is little fisted hook back liner caught by Perdomo back of shortstop. So nine innings not enough to solve our problem tonight. Moreno with a homer in the ninth last night batting here in the 10th with two on in the hole backhanded by Lee and with a run and Moreno’s hustle gives the Diamondbacks a 3 to 2 lead, two outs in the 10th and now the bases are loaded for Blaise Alexander pos it down the right field line headed to the Wall Carroll will score Moreno right behind him. It’s a two run double by Alexander and it’s a 5 to 2 diamondback lead. John Curtis goes back out there to start the bottom of the 10th and strike away on Clemens Tweet and a miss he struck him out and that is your ball game Diamondbacks. It wasn’t pretty, but they hang on and win it by a final score of 5 to 2 and.
