Minnesota Slaps 4-2 Loss on Baltimore
The Minnesota Twins defeated the Baltimore Orioles, 4-2. Catcher Ryan Jeffers deserved a large share of the credit. Jeffers went 2 for 5 with a home run, while adding 3 RBI and scoring once for the Twins. Cole Sands got the save, the 17th for him this season. The win hiked the Minnesota record to 75-68.

Minnesota used the timely hitting of Ricardo Olivar to seize the win. The pinch hitter stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the eighth inning to put the Twins on top, 4-2. It was his only hit in 1 at-bat, but it was a game-changer.

"It takes a lot of things to win a ballgame," said Minnesota manager Rocco Baldelli. "It's usually not just one thing."
