Bayron Buxon is hot, and he is helping the Minnesota twins out of a cold magic.
Buxon and Twins will look at their recent success when they try to complete a three-game sweep against Baltimor Oriols on Thursday afternoon in Miniapolis. Twins won the series opener 9–1 on Monday and then won 5–2 on Tuesday.
A theme in the series is the hot bat of Buxon.
Buxon ripped the three -run homer on Wednesday, the third game he went deeply in a line. He hit a single homer against Boston Red Sock on Sunday, then a three -run shot against Baltimore on Tuesday.
Twins manager Roko Baldelli said, “He is quite dynamic, whose team won four straight games immediately after the skid of four games.” When he hit the ball at that good angle, and we have seen a bunch of them, the balls just keep moving. They are not doing walls or anything like that.
“When his time is good and he lives well through the ball, what he is now, this is what you see. We do its benefits again. We win the game because of that.”
Meanwhile, the Oriols are struggling to find a similar spark in the plate.
Baltimore will try to stop the four-game losing streak on Thursday. During that stretch, Oriols have been dropped from 29–9, and they have lost 22 out of 35 games to start the season.
Oriols manager Brandon Hyde said that the part of the problem is hitting the team with the runners in the scoring position. Baltimore left six runners on the base on Wednesday night.
“We didn’t find a clutch hit at a large place,” Hyde said. “I thought we had some good-bats (Wednesdays). We needed to see the entire region once or twice. We needed to do more than this.”
Hyde said that many players are slipping at the same time.
“It has been going on for some time,” he said. “If you look at our aggressive numbers, we are struggling or not, where they hoped they would be.”
The twins who were looking for Ryan to prevent the children from getting out of getting out of the plate on Thursday, but due to a disease, the right -handed person was scratched from his scheduled beginning. The team announced after Wednesday’s game that Wright Belly would proceed to rotation to start the conclusion of the Ober series.
Ober (4–1, 3.72 ERA) has won each of its last four, compiling 2.08 ERA, 19 strikeouts and two walks in 26 innings during that period. Recently, he opened fire in six innings of one run in a win on Boston Red Sox on Saturday.
In three career walks against Baltimore, Ober 2.00 is 1–1 with ERA.
Oriols will counter Dean Cramer (3-4, 5.73 ERA). Coming out of their best start of the right hand season, on Friday, threw seven scorer innings against the Canasus City Royals.
Kremer has lost his two career walks against Twins, giving 12 runs on 13 hits in seven innings.
