Baltimore Sunk by Minnesota, 3-1
Minnesota pitcher Rick Rhoden had a large part in his team beating the Baltimore Orioles, 3-1. The right-hander kept opposing batters in check throughout the game. Earning his 1st save of the year was Rusty Meacham. The defeat makes Baltimore 32-29.

Gene Kingsale had a big 2-run double for the Twins in the bottom of the third inning. With Minnesota leading 1-0 and runners on 2nd and 3rd, he got a sinker from Sonny Gray, who finished 3rd in the AL in ERA with 2.97 in 1997, and swatted a double to right. It was his 16th double of the season, and more importantly, it put the Twins ahead, 3-0.

"At the end of the day, it's always about your starting pitcher," said Minnesota skipper Dan Hornbaker.
