Baltimore Orioles vs. Minnesota Twins: Game Summary
The Minnesota Twins were able to complete the three-game series sweep over the Baltimore Orioles with a 5-2 win on Thursday afternoon. Minnesota needed a big eighth inning to get the victory, but their bats came alive at just the right time.
Brooks Lee was the offensive hero for the Twins in the series finale as he hit the game-winning two-run double to give Minnesota a 4-2 lead. Ty France then followed that up with an RBI single to set the final score.
Ad
Baltimore held a 2-1 lead heading into the bottom of the sixth inning, but a Trevor Larnach home run evened up the score. The Orioles struggled to get outs throughout the series, and that was the case in this game as well.
The loss on Thursday sent the Baltimore Orioles to a 13-23 record, and the win got the Minnesota Twins to 18-20.
