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.

Trevor Larnach hit a two-run homer and Joe Ryan tossed six innings of one-run ball as the Minnesota Twins held on for its seventh straight win, 2-1 over the San Francisco Giants on Saturday in Minneapolis.
