Slegers, Twins Rebound From Rough Road Trip To Top O’s 5-2

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Aaron Slegers and Jake Cave have been called up from Triple-A by the Minnesota Twins three times apiece this season, and the All-Star break is still more than one week away.

Their contributions to this struggling team on Thursday night were sure worthy of a longer stay.

Slegers picked up his first major league win with six smooth innings, Cave reached base all four times he batted, and the Twins stopped their six-game losing streak by hanging on for a 5-2 victory over the lowly Baltimore Orioles.

“I know that I think, and I know Slegers thinks the same thing, that we can play big league baseball,” Cave said.
