Twins Take Both Split Squad Games on Monday

The Minnesota Twins play couple split squad games today and won both contests. Minnesota hosted the Toronto Blue Jays had Hammond Stadium and took advantage of three hitless innings of pitching by Kevin Correia to win by a score of 12-2.  Offensively, Jermaine Mitchell the home run and drove in four runs in the Twins victory.  The other Twins squad was in Sarasota to face the Baltimore Orioles.  Vance Worley threw three shutout innings for the Twins and Minnesota scored seven runs in the ninth to break a 2-all tie.  Three of the runs were from a Wilkin Ramirez home run.  The Twins are scheduled to take on the Florida Marlins in Grapefruit League action on Tuesday.

SARASOTA, Fla. (AP) — Chris Davis hit a long home run to center field in the Baltimore Orioles' 9-2 loss to a Minnesota Twins' split-squad on Monday.

Davis, the major league home run leader last year with 53, hit his first — and the Orioles' first — of spring training in the fourth game.

Bud Norris started for the Orioles and threw two shutout innings, allowing one run, striking out two and walking one. Kevin Gausman followed and gave up a run on two hits in two innings. Gausman also struck out two and walked one.
