Twins Use Late Score to Top Orioles, 3-2
The Minnesota Twins earned a close win over the Baltimore Orioles, thanks in part to Bert Blyleven. The Minnesota right-hander, who is rated as the 11th best prospect by BNN, played a key role in the 3-2 victory. The loss puts Baltimore at 3-2.

The defining moment came in the bottom of the ninth for Minnesota. That's when Joe Mauer hit a run-scoring double off 26-year old right-handed pitcher Tim Stoddard to win the game. The home crowd went wild.

"Baseball is about momentum," said Mauer, "and we feel we've got it in our favor after that win."
