Twins Win at Baltimore, 8-4
The Minnesota Twins faced a tough opponent in Baltimore pitcher Randy Johnson Jr., but did just enough to pull out the victory at Oriole Park at Camden Yards by a final score of 8-4. Johnson Jr. went 0 innings and allowed no runs. The winning pitcher was Gerbrand van de Bilt. His record is now 9-11. The right-hander went 6.2 innings, allowing 4 runs on 10 hits for the Twins. The Twins sit in last place in the American League Central Division with a record of 53-91.

Minnesota used the bat of Kevin Howard to capture the win. The first baseman jacked a 3-run home run in the top of the first inning to put the Twins ahead, 3-0. It was his lone hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a dandy.

"It was our day today," Howard told the Minnesota Today. "But we've got to keep our nose to the grindstone."
