Amid trade speculation, Minnesota Twins pitcher Joe Ryan had an historically poor start in a 13-4 loss to the Cleveland Guardians.

On Monday, Ryan set a personal and Twins franchise record by allowing six home runs. Per Stathead research, he became just the 11th starting pitcher of the live ball era (since 1920) to hit that mark in a single game.

Ryan was pulled after four innings, allowing eight earned runs on 10 total hits with three strikeouts in 78 pitches. After entering the day with a 2.85 earned run average in 20 starts, Ryan's ERA jumped to 3.38 following the defeat.

With the trade deadline only weeks away on Aug. 3, the 2026 All-Star's rough outing couldn't have come at a worse time for Minnesota.

One bad start isn't enough to wipe out Ryan's trade market, but it certainly won't strengthen it. According to Baseball Savant, his four-seam fastball, the most-used in his repertoire, saw a slight decrease in average velocity and was responsible for a 22.7 percent whiff rate, below its season average (27.2 percent) entering Monday.

The Guardians got to Ryan early, with the six-year veteran allowing five home runs before recording his seventh out.

Three of the six blasts were no-doubt home runs and would have left the field in all 30 MLB ballparks, per Baseball Savant, and another would have been a homer in 29-of-30 stadiums.

Shortstop Brayan Rocchio and designated hitter Rhys Hoskins started the barrage with the back-to-back jacks in the first, followed by center fielder Petey Halpin, who launched his first career home run an inning later off an 89 mph splitter left over the middle of the zone.
