Dexter Fowler made an impact in the 9-2 Baltimore win over Minnesota. Fowler, who finished 4th in the NL in triples with 11 in 2012, hit 2 home runs. He drove in 6 runs and scored twice. The Twins fall to 7-10 and continue their uneven start to the 2019 season.

Fowler contributed a big hit, a grand slam home run, for Baltimore in the bottom of the fourth. With his team trailing 1-0, Fowler took a fastball from Matt Harvey and stroked the home run to right. His 4th home run of the season allowed the Orioles to leap in front, 4-1.

In postgame comments to the Baltimore Daily News, Fowler said, "If the effort is there, the wins will come."
