Third Inning


The third inning proved pivotal for the Twinkies as they unleashed their offensive prowess. Minnesota's bats came alive with three hits that resulted in three runs, setting a commanding tone for the rest of the game. This surge was led by key contributions from players like Byron Buxton and Royce Lewis, who demonstrated their batting skills effectively against Baltimore's pitching lineup. The Birds struggled to respond during this period and were unable to put any runs on the board despite having opportunities.


Seventh Inning


As play continued into later innings, both teams maintained strong defensive efforts until another breakthrough occurred for Minnesota in the seventh inning when they added an additional run to their tally through strategic hitting and base running maneuvers. Meanwhile, Baltimore's offense remained stifled by effective pitching from Louis Varland and his bullpen counterparts who collectively allowed only six hits throughout nine innings without conceding any runs.
