Because of Joe Ryan’s illness, Ober’s start was bumped up a day — he was still on normal rest because of Monday’s off day — giving him the day game against the Orioles instead of the night game against the San Francisco Giants on Friday that he had been planning on.

Despite a rough day at the plate and in the field, Brooks Lee came through when it mattered most, helping the Minnesota Twins complete a dramatic sweep of the Baltimore Orioles with a 5-2 win at Target Field.

Brooks Lee had a go-ahead two-run double with two outs in the eighth inning to propel the Minnesota Twins to a 5-2 win over the Baltimore Orioles on Thursday, completing a three-game sweep with their fifth straight victory.
