Crush HRs as Gallardo picks up W in O's debut

Minnesota's Joe Mauer drove in a run on a third-inning sacrifice fly, the only run allowed by Gallardo, while Trevor Plouffe hit a solo homer off O's reliever Mychal Givens.

MOMENTS THAT MATTERED
Gallardo's Orioles debut: The right-hander, signed to a two-year deal with a one-year option, shook off any concerns of a lackluster spring. Gallardo held the Twins to one run on two hits and three walks over five innings, striking out four.

Sano can't handle shallow fly ball: Miguel Sano, who was moved to right field for the first time in his career this season, was challenged in the second inning, when Schoop hit a shallow popup to right.
