Twins Rally For Late Win Over Orioles
The Minnesota Twins thumped the Baltimore Orioles, 8-1, at Oriole Park at Camden Yards. Miguel Rojas was a big reason his team got the win. Rojas went 3 for 4 with a home run and a double, while scoring 2 times and driving in 2. The Orioles fall to 11-12 and continue their wobbly start to the 2019 season.

With one out in the top of the eighth, Whit Merrifield had a game-changing hit. The Twins second baseman slammed a 2-run double off Jimmie Sherfy, making the score 3-1, Minnesota.

Merrifield called the triumph "a good team win."
