WEST SACRAMENTO — Joe Ryan had one curse word running through his head after he loaded the bases with no outs in the fifth inning and fell behind the next batter 3-0. The self-proclaimed quick thinker then went through a range of thoughts as the pitch clock dwindled before delivering his next pitch to CJ Alexander.

Byron Buxton matched his career high with five RBIs and the Minnesota Twins extended the Athletics’ losing streak to seven games with a 10-4 victory.

"(Joe's fifth inning) didn't start too great. It finished with probably one of the more impressive pitch-making sequences that you'll see."
