Baker Outpitches De La Rosa To Help Twins Beat LA 1-0
MINNEAPOLIS(AP)—Scott Baker struck out nine while pitching neatly into the eighth inning and Ben Revere had two hits to help the Minnesota Twins to a 1-0 victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers on Wednesday.
Baker (6-5) allowed six hits and walked one in 7 1-3 innings, dropping his ERA to 3.15 as the Twins bounced back from a 15-0 drubbing on Monday night to take two of three in the series.
Rubby De La Rosa (3-3) also was impressive for Los Angeles, giving up just one run and six hits in seven innings. After hammering out 25 hits on Monday night, the Dodgers couldn't string anything together against Baker and two relievers.
With the tying run on base in the eighth, Glen Perkins fanned Andre Ethier and Matt Kemp to end the inning and Matt Capps finished for his 13th save.
