Jimenez Helps Orioles Beat Twins' Split Squad 3-2
FORT MYERS, Fla. (AP) -- Ubaldo Jimenez has his best outing of spring training, allowing two runs and five hits over four innings Wednesday as the Baltimore Orioles beat a Minnesota Twins' split squad 3-2.
Jimenez, 57-56 since going 19-8 with a 2.88 ERA for Colorado in 2009, struck out four, walked one and lowered his spring training ERA from 11.05 to 8.74.
Jonathan Schoop hit a two-run homer off Ervin Santana, who gave up three runs and four hits in four innings.
Former Twin Delmon Young has two hits for the Orioles in a game that took just 2 hours, 15 minutes.
Eduardo Nunez, trying to win a bench spot with the Twins, drove in a run along with Eddie Rosario, who hopes to become Minnesota's starting center fielder.
