Christian Vázquez hit a three-run home run in the fourth inning, and the Minnesota Twins rallied to their ninth straight victory, 6-3 over the Baltimore Orioles in the first game of a doubleheader.

Orioles pitcher Dean Kremer allowed two home runs and the Twins secured their ninth straight win to open Wednesday’s doubleheader.

The Baltimore batter tossed his bat gently up in the air and knocked it to the ground, then followed by spiking his helment more hardly into the grass. Hoye signaled to Laureano the ejection and the outfielder remarked a few choice words, took a couple of steps toward the umpire and pointed in his face before walking off.
