Game 1 of 3: Twins 0 at Orioles 3 — FINAL 

Game Time: 2:23 —Attendance: 17,310
WP: Cabrera (2-2); LP: Silva (2-1); SV: Ryan (8)
 

PROPS TO:

* Daniel Cabrera - 9 IP, 3 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 11 K’s. Cabrera was able to get out of the 7th, the only inning the Twins posed a threat by striking out the side and making Twin hitters look goofy. Complete dominance lead the O’s to an easy win.

 

*B.J. Ryan - A 1-2-3 9th closed it out for his 8th save of the year.

 

*Miguel Tejada - Went 3-4 on the game win two RBI and a home run. Drove in one of those runs with a double to right.

 

*Jay Gibbons - Went 2-3 and scored the first run for the O’s

 

*Melvin Mora - Went 1-4, driving in Roberts and later scoring on Tejada’s double.

 

*Carlos Silva - 7 IP, 9 H, 3 R, 3 ER, 2 K’s, kept the Twins in the game and had a quality start. Every stat this year has been 7 innings or more. Victim of no run support. 

FLOPS TO:

*Twins offense - Only mustered up 3 hits and in the only opportunity they had, runners on first and second with no outs and Jones, Tiffee and Cuddyer all struck out swinging.
