Loss to Twins Extends Baltimore Losing Streak
The Minnesota Twins beat the Baltimore Orioles, 4-2, at Target Field. The Twins got a fine performance from first baseman Edwin Encarnacion, who went 2 for 4 with a home run. He drove in 2 runs and scored once. Nick Anderson nailed down his 8th save. The Twins bumped their record to 25-23 with this win.

Encarnacion had a game-changing home run in the bottom of the sixth. On a full count fastball from Tyler Anderson, he banged a 2-run home run to left, giving the Twins a 3-1 lead. It was the 9th home run of the year for Encarnacion.

"The chili dogs will taste better tonight after this win," said the ever-candid Encarnacion.
