Minnesota Twins at Baltimore Orioles
Final
Recap
BALTIMORE -- Royce Lewis hit a tiebreaking two-run homer in the fifth inning, and the Minnesota Twins used a strong effort from their bullpen to beat the Baltimore Orioles 4-1 Saturday. Lewis connected off Kyle Bradish (0-1) after a leadoff walk to Trevor Larnach. The drive, which soared just inside the left-field foul pole, gave Minnesota its first lead of the season following a 2-1 loss to Baltimore in the opener Thursday. Kody Clemens added an RBI single in the seventh to help the Twins earn their first win for manager Derek Shelton, who was hired to turn around a team that went 70-92 last year.
