Ridge Beam Size

I cannot find a span table for a ridge beam size. The ridge beam will be about 10 feet long, and supporting about 6 feet of roof. 6 foot rafters on each side. This will be a gable porch in southwest Michigan, so 50# snow load. I was hoping a single 2x10 would be sufficient, but wasn’t sure. Does anyone know if that would work?
