Orioles lose to Twins, 4-2, on a lack of clutch hitting and Tommy Hunter going boom

Nothing good happens after Tommy Hunter goes boom. In Monday's 4-2 Orioles loss to the Twins, he went boom and the game immediately ended. There were other reasons the O's lost, like a complete lack of hitting with runners in scoring position.

Tommy went boom. The Orioles lost their game against the Twins on a walkoff home run hit by Brian Dozier. The final score was 4-2. Hunter was bounced last year from the closer role. He's lost his spot this year in the very back end of the Orioles bullpen, yet still sometimes he must appear in key situations, like in the ninth and tenth inning of a tie game on the road, because you can't capriciously blow through relievers once the extra frames are lined up.
