Twins starter Joe Ryan overcame an illness earlier in the week to put together a strong outing and Trevor Larnach delivered a big two-run homer as Minnesota held on for a 2-1 win Saturday night over the San Francisco Giants.

The Twins started their turnaround by taking care of business against two of the worst teams in the American League, winning five of six games on their last homestand. A blip in Cleveland and Boston was followed by a seven-game winning streak that has finally pulled the Twins back to .500 for the first time since Opening Day.

The Twins made it back to .500 by running their winning streak to seven games. Joe Ryan gave up two hits over six innings, and Trevor Larnach accounted for the all runs needed.
