Orioles Roll Over Twins, 11-3
The Baltimore Orioles overcame a good performance by Minnesota right fielder Joel Kunkler to knock off Minnesota, 11-3, at Target Field. Kunkler was 3-5 with 2 home runs and a double. Paul Schwartz, the winning pitcher, improved to 1-1. He pitched 5.2 innings, giving up 5 hits and 1 run, while striking out 8 and walking 2. Ben Knapp picked up the save, his 1st.

Who knows how it might've ended, had it not been for Marc Peckermark? The Baltimore left fielder had a 2-run double in the top of the fifth inning to put the Orioles on top, 5-1. For the game, Peckermark had 1 double and 1 single in 4 at-bats.

"We put a lot of pressure on ourselves," Peckermark told a Baltimore Daily News reporter. "Sometimes we just need to relax."

The defeat makes Minnesota 4-10.
