Orioles Sneak By Twins, 7-6
Minnesota third baseman Blake Bass Jr. had a good game, even if his team did not. The Twins dropped a 7-6 decision to Baltimore at Target Field. Bass Jr. went 3 for 6 with a home run and a double. He scored 2 times and drove in 3. The win gives Baltimore a season record of 86-49.

Baltimore needed the clutch hitting of Elijah Hamilton to seal the deal. The third baseman swatted a solo home run in the top of the 12th inning to put the Orioles on top, 7-6. For the game, Hamilton had 1 home run and 1 single in 6 at-bats.

"We'll kick back tonight, then get set for the next one," Hamilton said.
