It was the 10th time in López’s career he struck out at least 10. Danny Coulombe, Louie Varland, Cole Sands and Jorge Alcala each pitched a scoreless inning in relief. All told, five Twins pitchers fanned a combined 17 batters, a season-high.

Pablo Lopez was dealing, Carlos Correa hit a towering two-run homer in a five-run third inning and the Minnesota Twins posted their third consecutive victory, beating the Baltimore Orioles 9-1 Tuesday night at Target Field in Minneapolis.
