Baltimore took on Minnesota in front of a lively crowd.

Storm Davis, who leads the AL in quality starts with 9, was the winner. He's now 7-1. The loser was Dennis Martinez.

With Baltimore leading 1-0 in the bottom of the second, Essian hit a fastball from Dennis Martinez for a 2-run home run. It was his 5th home run of the season and put the Orioles ahead, 3-0.
