Orioles Sneak Past Twins, 4-3
Baltimore starter John Piccola had a strong outing against the Minnesota Twins at Target Field. The right-hander was a big part of his team's 4-3 win. Chris Dauphin converted his 12th save in 16 tries. Baltimore has 3 straight wins, Minnesota 3 straight losses.

Baltimore used the timely hitting of Saimei Kudo to seize the win. The third baseman stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the eighth inning to put the Orioles on top, 4-3. It was his only hit in 3 at-bats, but it was a game-changer.

"I like to lead by example," said Kudo. "I'm glad I could contribute to a good win."
