Orioles Win at Minnesota, 5-2
The Baltimore Orioles picked up a win at Target Field, knocking off the Minnesota Twins, 5-2. Starting pitcher Drew Smyly was an essential part of his team's success. Justin Wilson got credit for the save for Baltimore. It was his 3rd of the year. The Twins fall to 11-12 and continue their uneasy start to the 2019 season.

With scoring opportunities rare, the Orioles had to cash in when they had the chance. One such opportunity presented itself in the top of the third, when designated hitter Shohei Ohtani hit a 2-run home run. The home run came off Matt Harvey and made the score 4-1, Orioles. Ohtani was 1-4 with a home run, while adding 2 RBI and scoring once.

"There's a lot of passion in our clubhouse," said Ohtani. "When we put it together we're a great ball club."
