Alex Burnett threw 1 inning of scoreless relief to get the win and Jared Burton threw a scoreless 9th inning to grab his 3rd save. Sam Deduno started the game for the Twins and threw 4 1/3 innings with 6 hits and 3 earned runs allowed. Adam Jones hit a 3-run homerun for the Orioles.
The Twins placed closer Matt Capps on the 15-day disabled list with a rotator cuff injury and recalled Nick Blackburn from triple-A Rochester. Blackburn goes back into the Twins rotation and will start Friday night at Kansas City. Blackburn was 2-0 with a 2.57 ERA in 21 innings at triple-A Rochester. Brian Duensing goes back to the bullpen.
