The O's showed up to play on Saturday afternoon.
They didn't on Saturday night.
The Birds split their first doubleheader of the season, beating the Minnesota Twins 7-3 before dropping the second game 6-1.
The O's bats backed starter Jeremy Guthrie, who won his first game of the season, but then went cold for Kevin Millwood, who dropped to 0-4 on the year.
After scoring seven runs off 12 hits in the opener, the Birds managed just one run on four hits in Game 2.
Though Millwood's final line looked better, it was Jeremy Guthrie that took the win. Once again, the bats just went silent. After the first game, it looked like the O's were gaining some momentum, but it was just a tease...the O's lone run in Game 2 came from a slumping Luke Scott, who finally made contact with the ball and sent it sailing out of Target Field.
The Orioles have already taken two of three from the Twins and have a chance to win just their second series of the season later this afternoon.
Brian Matusz (2-2) is slated to take the mound...both of Matusz's losses this season have come against the Yankees.
