Orioles Pick Up 3-2 Win Against Minnesota
Starting pitcher Dave Roberts gave the Baltimore Orioles a rock-solid effort. The Gallipolis, Ohio native helped his team defeat the Minnesota Twins, 3-2, at Oriole Park at Camden Yards. Roberts picked up the win for Baltimore, going 8 innings. He gave up 2 runs on 5 hits. He now sports a record of 10-13. Jonny Venters locked down his 29th save.

Hack Wilson, who led the AL in batting average with .331 in 1989, helped out the Baltimore cause in the bottom of the fifth inning with a run-scoring sacrifice fly. For the game, the designated hitter drove in one run.

"If you ever get this game figured out," said Minnesota manager Dan Hornbaker, "let me know."

By defeating Minnesota, the 8th-place Orioles improved to 61-85.
