Tough Loss for the Orioles Against the Twins
Well, fellow Orioles fans, it was a rollercoaster of a night at Camden Yards. Our beloved Baltimore Orioles fought hard but ultimately fell to the Minnesota Twins with a final score of 8-6. Despite the loss, there were some exciting moments and great performances from our squad.Big Bats in the 3rd Inning
The highlight for us came in the 3rd inning when our bats really came to life. Gunnar Henderson kicked things off with a single that brought home Jackson Holliday. The inning caught fire when Cedric Mullins smashed a beautiful grand slam homer to right, scoring Ryan Mountcastle, Ryan O'Hearn, and Ramon Laureano. Not to be left out, Heston Kjerstad followed up with his own homer to right center, giving us a brief 6-4 lead.
The Turning Point
Unfortunately, our lead slipped away in the 8th inning when the Twins' Kody Clemens hit a three-run homer off Cano. This put the Twins ahead 8-6, and we were unable to rally back. Our hitters couldn't break through in the final innings, despite a valiant effort by Mullins and Emmanuel Rivera.Looking Ahead
