The Minnesota Twins are two games over .500.
Sure, it’s Feb. 28 and they’re only six games into spring training and it really doesn’t mean anything … but … Minnesota is now 4-2 in Grapefruit League play.
Thursday, the Baltimore Orioles were the victims, losing 7-1 to the Twins at Hammond Stadium.
Liam Hendriks, in a bid to crack Minnesota’s revamped starting rotation, pitched three scoreless innings.
Red-hot Justin Morneau knocked in three runs, and dad-to-be Joe Mauer — in his first game since the world learned that he and his wife are expecting twins — had two hits and scored two runs.
Up next: The Blue Jays on Friday in Jupiter, Fla., with Vance Worley getting his second start for the Twins.
