Joe Ryan faces Kyle Hendricks as Twins, Cubs meet at Wrigley Field

CHICAGO — Joe Ryan will get to hit for the first time in the major leagues as the Twins rookie righthander pitches against the Cubs (6:40 p.m., BSN) at Wrigley Field tonight.

Ryan is 1-1 with a 2.12 ERA. He'll face Chicago's Kyle Hendricks (14-6, 4.81).

The Twins won the opener of the two-game series 9-5 last night.

Byron Buxton, hit on the foot by a pitch last night, will sit out, as will Jorge Polanco, who has been under the weather. Neither situation is serious.

The Twins open a four-game series against Toronto on Thursday at Target Field.
