DaShawn Keirsey Jr. and Byron Buxton hit Minnesota's first back-to-back homers this season, Chris Paddack pitched seven shutout innings and the Twins extended their winning streak to 11 games with a 4-0 victory over the Baltimore Orioles.

The win streak is the fourth-longest in Twins history. The record is 15 straight in 1991. They had a 12-game winning streak last season. The Twins swept the season series 6-0 after being swept by the Orioles 6-0 last year.

Thursday’s loss sends the Orioles to 15-27 on the season. You have to go back to the end of the 2021 season to find a point where the O’s were 12 or more games below .500. That’s what it’s come to. All of the promise of this team was whatever it was before the season,
