Orioles Suffer 8-4 Setback
The Baltimore Orioles got a superb performance from pitcher Clint Nageotte, but the Minnesota Twins still won the game, 8-4. Nageotte threw 7.0 innings of 5-hit ball. Minnesota reliever Leonardo Torres picked up the win, upping his record to 1-2. Jean Tome absorbed the loss. The Twins with just their 5th win in 17 games, have played uninspired baseball so far.

Minnesota won the game in part because of Matt Spencer. The right fielder ripped a run-scoring double in the top of the eighth inning to put the Twins ahead, 4-3. For the game, Spencer had 1 double and 1 home run in 4 at-bats.

"It's a long season," said Spencer. "We'll keep working to improve."
