Mike Jacobs ripped 2 homeruns and Matt Garza pitched a complete game at
Metrodome as the Baltimore Orioles belted the Minnesota Twins by the count of
11 to 1.

Minnesota was unable to recover after Baltimore went ahead in the 2nd inning
as they scored 2 runs on 2 base hits. The early run support proved
sufficient for Garza(1-1) and Baltimore. That was all the run support Garza
required. Baltimore kept the pressure on throughout the contest as they
scored in 6 different innings.

The losing pitcher was Nick Blackburn(1-1). He was knocked around,
surrendering 5 runs in 3 innings.

WEB GEMS- Top 7th: Alberto Callaspo robbed Jed Lowrie of a base hit.

Hunter Pence had 4 hits as the Minnesota Twins beat the Baltimore Orioles by a
score of 7 to 2.

Minnesota promptly took the lead in their half of the first with 3 runs using
3 hits. Jed Lowrie led off and started the rally when he slapped a one-base
hit, and an error was also committed. After an out was recorded, Jason Bay
came up and he lifted one out of the park for a two run home run (his 3rd of
the season). After another out, Melvin Mora stepped in and he hit a
bases-empty home run (his 1st of the season). That was all the offense they
were to need. Minnesota ended up with 13 hits for the game while Baltimore
had 9.

The win was credited to Cliff Lee(3-0) who went 7 and 1/3 innings allowing no
runs. Lee got help from Bobby Jenks who was credited with his 2nd save. Matt
Garza(0-1) suffered the loss. He pitched 7 innings giving up 8 hits and 1
walk.

Ben Sheets was on top of his game, blanking Washington on just 3 hits and Nate
McLouth blasted 2 homeruns and had 7 RBI as the New York (NL) Mets
man-handled the Washington Nationals - the final score was 17 to 0.

McLouth was a one-man wrecking crew. He lofted a three-run 'big-fly' in the
1st inning, belted a three-run homer (his 2nd of the season) in the 1st
inning, lashed a single in the 2nd inning and laced a base-knock in the 8th
inning. New York (NL) bats were very productive in the 1st inning when they
had 13 runs on 4 hits. New York (NL) finished with 10 hits in the victory.

Sheets(2-0) went the distance for the shutout. Aaron Cook(0-2) was the losing
pitcher. He couldn't find the strike zone and allowed 22 walks in 9 innings.
