MINNEAPOLIS -- The fifth spot in the Twins rotation has been up in the air of late, and Minnesota manager Paul Molitor said before Thursday's game that the club will explore all options going forward when it comes to filling out the rotation. In his second appearance of the season, Aaron Slegers made a convincing argument that the spot should remain his.
Slegers tossed six innings and held the Orioles to a single run as he and the Twins topped Baltimore, 5-2. The 25-year-old sinker-baller generated just nine swinging strikes all evening, but induced seven groundouts as he held the Orioles to three hits and picked up his first Major League win.
