Dashan Kresi Junior and Bayren Buxon hit back-to-back home run and Chris Padack played seven shutouts, but the 11th consecutive win of Minnesota Twins was sour with the team collision between teammates when he defeated host Baltimore Orails 4–0 on Thursday afternoon.
Twins Shortstop Carlos Korea and Buxon, Center Fielder, left the game after a pile-up at the bottom of the third innings.
When Buxon made a catch before hitting Korea, the pair was chasing the pop-up of Sedric Mulins in the shallow center area. It appeared that his heads collided, and both players fell into a turf with other twins on the field. Minnesota led 3–0 at the time of change in lineups.
Twins completed the three-game sweep and six-game season sweep after winning three times against Oriols at home last week.
Padac (2-3) was fantastic to allow three hits and a walk, while taking out three. Louis Varland and Jhoan Duran worked in an innings of relief to complete six-hitters each.
Both Willy Castro and Royce Lewis did two hits for Minnesota.
Oriols have lost nine of their last 11 matches. He scored in just two different innings in the series.
Ryan O’Harn had two hits of Baltimore, while Mulins and Ryan had a double near Mountcastal. Oriols implicated six runners, two of which were eighth and two in ninth.
Oriols starter Tomoyuki Sugano (4-3) played 6 1/3 innings, conceding four runs on six hits with a walk and three strikes.
Kersi’s two -run shot marked its first long ball of the season and opened the scoring in the third innings. Buxton chased with his 10th homer.
A run-scoring of Lewis made it 4–0 in the seventh. Minnesota gave a chance to scoring ninth-inning after arriving on his first two batsmen, but Baltimore’s Serthony Dominguase ran out of the next three batsmen.
