Orioles Lose Late, 6-3
Baltimore center fielder Wayne Comer had a good game in a losing cause. His team fell, 6-3, to Minnesota at Oriole Park at Camden Yards. Comer went 2-4 with a home run and a triple. He scored 2 times and drove in 2. Brusdar Graterol sewed up the save, his 33rd. With the win, Minnesota raised its record to 76-71.

Minnesota used the timely hitting of Von Joshua to seize the win. The designated hitter stroked a 2-run single in the top of the eighth inning to put the Twins on top, 6-3. It was his only hit in 3 at-bats, but it was a game-changer.

"It was a good team win. Everybody threw something in," Joshua told the Minnesota Times.
