Jeremy Guthrie won his second straight decision, and the Birds left Minnesota on Wednesday night with a 5-1 win.
Guthrie (9-12) went seven innings and allowed just one run off six hits while walking none and fanning five. He managed to do it without allowing a home run...way to go, Guth! The bullpen shut the Twins down through the final two frames...Danys Baez and Jim Johnson held Minnesota hitless while allowing one walk and striking out two.
Guthrie got all the run support he would need in the first inning, when a throwing error allowed two runs to cross the plate to give the Birds an early lead. Felix Pie launched a solo shot to dead center in the fourth, and the Birds tacked another run on in the sixth with an RBI double off the bat of former Twin Chad Moeller. Moeller finished the game going 2-for-2 with two walks and two RBIs. Guthrie allowed just one extra base hit (an RBI double) on the night and left after throwing 112 pitches with a three-run lead...the Birds tacked on an insurance run in the eighth with a bases-loaded walk.
The Birds return to Camden Yards and face the Cleveland Indians for a 4-game set beginning Thursday night...David Hernandez (4-6) takes the mound in game one...Go O's!!
