Twins bashed Kevin Gausman for six runs over four innings and the Orioles fail to hit once again as the Twins dominate the Orioles for a 7-0 win. Orioles hitters could only manage one hit off starter Jose Berrios thru eight innings before loading the bases on him in the 9th with two hits and walk. Berrios though got Jonathan Schoop to pop up and struck out Adam Jones to finish his first major league shutout.
