BALTIMORE — For a second straight night at Camden Yards, the Orioles made it through five innings against a first-place Twins team with a tie intact, only for Minnesota to break it with Baltimore’s starter out of the game.
After left-hander Bruce Zimmermann allowed two runs over five frames to continue his impressive start to the season, Joey Krehbiel surrendered a three-run home run to Ryan Jeffers, the biggest blow in the Orioles’ 7-2 loss Tuesday in front of an announced crowd of 6,678, a second straight season low.
After posting a 3.46 ERA in April, the Orioles’ bullpen has an 8.18 ERA through three May games.
