After taking the series opener in Minnesota last night the A’s will try to make it two in a row over the Twins, looking to both inch closer to 60 wins while burying the Twins’ dwindling playoff chances.

Joe Ryan removed his cap and ran his right hand through his hair as he trotted off the mound after a 39-pitch fourth inning Tuesday, in which three unearned runs scored, and then he sat on the dugout bench for the next several minutes reviewing his pitches on an iPad.

Ryan served up a two-out, two-run home run to Shea Langeliers in the third right after issuing a four-pitch walk to Nick Kurtz, turning the Twins’ lead into a deficit, and then found himself in more trouble an inning later.
