Minnesota Twins at Baltimore Orioles
Final
Recap
BALTIMORE -- Trevor Rogers pitched seven shutout innings and Colton Cowser and Blaze Alexander had seventh-inning RBI to give the Baltimore Orioles a 2-1 win over the Minnesota Twins on opening day Thursday. Following a stellar 2025 season in which he went 9-3 with a 1.81 ERA, Rogers picked up where he left off in front of a sellout crowd at Camden Yards for the earliest opener in franchise history. The lefty allowed three hits, walked four and was especially effective when stuck in a jam. Rogers (1-0) induced three double plays and limited Minnesota to 1-for-11 batting with runners in scoring position.
