FORT MYERS, Fla. -- Joe Mauer and Trevor Plouffe each hit a two-run homer to help lead the split-squad Twins to a 5-1 win over the Orioles on Tuesday at Hammond Stadium.
Mauer was the first to go deep, hitting his two-run blast to left off Orioles starter Mike Wright in the first inning. It was the first homer of the spring for Mauer, who was wearing sunglasses at the plate, an experiment for him after he dealt with vision issues the last two seasons related to his season-ending concussion in 2013.
