For the second consecutive weekend, the Orioles and Twins are playing a series together. Last weekend, in Baltimore, the Twins took two out of three from the Orioles and completely shut down the O’s defense. They scored just three runs in the series, it was pretty demoralizing.
When the Twins and Orioles parted ways, the Twins went home to play their division rival Royals while the Orioles went on the road to play their division rivals, the Yankees. Something not quite the same about those things, huh? While the Orioles were struggling to get a series split with the Yankees in New York, the Twins easily swept the Royals and then had yesterday off to rest up.
