TWINS UPDATE
It's a rare one-series road trip, as the Twins return home to face Tampa Bay on Friday after this series. The Twins opened the 2016 season at Camden Yards and were swept in a three-games series. They finished 1-5 against the Orioles last year, after going 7-0 against them in 2015. … Santana started the season opener last year at Baltimore and pitched two scoreless innings before a rain delay ended his night. … Brian Dozier has yet to hit a home run at Camden Yards, the only AL East ballpark in which he hasn't hit one. … Jason Castro has a .308 career batting average against Bundy and is the only Twins player with a homer off him.
ORIOLES UPDATE
The mission, if Twins pitchers choose to accept it, is to not let Manny Machado get hot against them. The All-Star third baseman leads Baltimore in home runs and RBI and is second in walks. But he's batting only .221. … Baltimore called up infielder Paul Janish from Class AAA Norfolk on Sunday and placed infielder Ryan Flaherty on the disabled list because of a right shoulder strain. … Brad Brach has handled most of the closing duties while Zach Britton recovers from a forearm strain. Britton, who led the AL with 47 saves last year, started playing catch late last week.
