Pablo López struck out a season-high 11 batters and Carlos Correa hit an upper-deck two-run homer during a five-run third inning as the Minnesota Twins opened a three-game series against the Baltimore Orioles with a 9-1 win.

Pablo Lopez was dealing, Carlos Correa hit a towering two-run homer in a five-run third inning and the Minnesota Twins posted their third consecutive victory, beating the Baltimore Orioles 9-1 Tuesday night at Target Field in Minneapolis.

His bat was quiet, but Lewis brought his enthusiastic style back to the clubhouse in his first game since injuring his hamstring March 16.
