Orioles Slap 5-4 Loss on Twins
The Baltimore Orioles withstood an impressive performance by Minnesota right fielder Max Kepler to defeat the Twins, 5-4, at Target Field. Kepler went 2 for 4 with a home run. He drove in 3 runs and scored once. Mychal Givens earned save number 8 this season. The win hiked the Baltimore record to 24-23.

It could have been a different outcome for Baltimore, had it not been for Anthony Santander, the 25-year old left fielder . Santander contributed a 2-run home run in the top of the fourth inning to put Baltimore up, 3-0.

"We can always improve and get better, but we're feeling confident after that win," said Santander.
