Copy shortlink: Trevor Larnach hit the longest home run by a Twin this season, and Kyle Garlick broke a tense tie with a home run for the second consecutive day. Yet the highlight of the day, maybe of the year so far, for the Twins offense was still to come. That was just flat-out awesome to watch, Twins manager Rocco Baldelli said after his team responded to Baltimore s dramatic, go-ahead, eighth-inning home run with a six-run outburst that allowed them to win for the fourth time in five games, 8-3 over the Orioles at Target Field. A taut pitchers duel between AL ERA leader John Means and Twins righthander Matt Shoemaker was washed away by a 45-minute spring shower, replaced once the storm passed by bullpen blunders. Jorge Alcala needed only two pitches to give away Minnesota s slim 2-1 lead to DJ Stewart, who was hitting just .202 at the time yet blasted a 98-mph fastball onto the right-field plaza.
