Gabriel Ynoa makes best start of spring in Orioles' 6-3 win over Twins

Orioles right-hander Gabriel Ynoa faced a Minnesota Twins lineup that included just one bona fide starter, but was nonetheless dominant in his best Grapefruit League start of the season.

Ynoa tossed five scoreless innings in the Orioles' 6-3 win Saturday night in front of a sellout crowd of 8,171 at Ed Smith Stadium.

Manager Buck Showalter said before Saturday's game that the competition for the open rotation spot created by right-hander Chris Tillman's injury could go well into the season's first month because the Orioles don't need a fifth starter until April 15.
