Twins' Late Surge Not Enough to Overcome Orioles at Camden Yards

The Minnesota Twins, with a record of 6-11, faced off against the Baltimore Orioles, who held a 12-6 record. The game concluded with a score of 4-2 in favor of the home team.

The Twins struggled at the plate throughout most of the game, managing only five hits and two runs against the Orioles' pitching staff. Despite their efforts, they couldn't capitalize on their opportunities, leaving nine runners on base and hitting just .156 as a team. The Twins' lineup did show some life in the seventh inning when they scored both of their runs but ultimately fell short.

Minnesota's pitching was more effective than their hitting implied. Their starting pitcher put up an impressive performance with an earned run average (ERA) of 1.5 over six innings pitched while striking out seven batters and holding opposing hitters to a mere .100 batting average. However, it was in relief where things took a turn for the worse; the bullpen ERA ballooned to 11.571 after giving up three runs over just 2.1 innings.

Defensively, the Twins were flawless with no errors recorded and maintaining a perfect fielding percentage (FPCT) of 1.0 throughout nine innings.

On offense for Baltimore, Craig Kimbrel notched his third win while Danny Coulombe secured his third hold despite each having one blown save this season so far.
