It took about a month for the Minnesota Twins to get on track, with some of that momentum generated last week against the Baltimore Orioles. The teams meet again, beginning a three-game series Tuesday night in Baltimore.

The Orioles couldn’t take advantage of ample scoring opportunities in their loss to the Twins on Thursday, falling to 10 games below .500.

For Buxton, when he got ahold of a first-pitch curveball from Charlie Morton out to left field in the third inning, it was his third home run in as many games. A day after driving in four runs, the center fielder added another three — all on that swing — as he gave the Twins a 3-1 lead.
