BALTIMORE (AP) DJ Stewart and Ryan Mountcastle homered as the Baltimore Orioles beat the Minnesota Twins 6-3 Wednesday night for their second straight win following a 14-game skid.
Baltimore has won two straight for the first time since April 30 and May 1 at Oakland.
“We won a couple,” Orioles manager Brandon Hyde said. “That feels good.”
Mountcastle broke open the game with a three-run shot in the seventh off Alex Colomé that boosted the lead to 6-1. Mountcastle has six extra-base hits in his last nine games.
“Mountcastle’s homer was enormous,” Hyde said. “That was really the hit that we haven’t been getting is kind of the breakthrough homer to get into their bullpen and not have a couple of their high-leverage guys pitch against us every night.”

On one hand, when teams play on consecutive weekends, it sort of takes the pressure off the series preview because how much can really have changed? On the other hand, the Twins did lose Mitch Garver to an injury that I implore you not to search out to watch because it will make your stomach turn over if you have any sort of empathy. Or eyes. After spending last weekend walking the entire lineup and somehow getting out of almost every jam with minimal damage done, the Royals will welcome the Minnesota Twins to Kansas City for the first time this season after six games in Minnesota over two trips to start the year.
