The Baltimore Orioles' offense is clicking on all cylinders after smashing a season-high six home runs in their most recent win, while the Minnesota Twins' engine is sputtering as a result of missing most of its key parts. The Orioles look to continue the suffering of the American League-worst Twins when the clubs open a three-game set in Minnesota on Monday.

Manny Machado blasted two homers - and finished with a career-high six RBIs - while Mark Trumbo also went deep and fell a double short of the cycle to lead Baltimore to an 11-3 rout in the rubber match of its series with the Oakland Athletics on Sunday. "You just really want to play a good game … because you don't get many opportunities where you've got a full house and the weather's letter perfect," Orioles manager Buck Showalter told reporters after the win. The Twins are scuffling for offense as a result of most of its infield either being on the disabled list (shortstop Eduardo Escobar) or nursing injuries (catcher Kurt Suzuki, second baseman Brian Dozier and third baseman Trevor Plouffe). Minnesota, which has dropped nine of 10, was swept in Baltimore to begin the season as part of its 0-9 start and mustered only seven runs while losing all three of its games in Chicago against the White Sox over the weekend.
PITCHING MATCHUP: Orioles RH Tyler Wilson (1-1, 3.04 ERA) vs. Twins RH Jose Berrios (1-1, 6.75)

After beginning the season in the bullpen, Wilson turned in his best start in three tries since joining the rotation in Wednesday's loss versus the New York Yankees, allowing three runs (two earned) on four hits and three walks across six innings. The Virginia product has posted a 4.02 ERA in three turns after recording a 1.13 ERA as a reliever, but his last outing was the first in which he lasted more than five frames. Wilson took over for Chris Tillman after a rain delay on opening day, tossing three scoreless relief innings against the Twins.

Berrios flirted with danger all night in his last outing but held on for his first victory last Monday, working around three hits - including a pair of homers - and five walks while fanning eight over 5 1/3 innings at Houston. The effort was an improvement for the 21-year-old Puerto Rican, who gave up five runs over four frames in a loss to Cleveland in his major-league debut on April 27. Berrios has baffled right-handed hitters through his first two career starts, allowing only one hit in 13 at-bats against them.

WALK-OFFS
1. Machado on Sunday became the first player to have a game with at least two home runs and six RBIs as a shortstop since Juan Uribe on Sept. 23, 2010.
2. Dozier (hamstring) did not start in any of the three games against the White Sox over the weekend but hopes to return to the lineup for the opener.
3. Baltimore has belted at least three homers in six games this season and leads the AL with 43.

PREDICTION: Orioles 7, Twins 2
