Kody Clemens hit a three-run homer in the eighth inning to lead the visiting Minnesota Twins to their 10th straight victory, 8-6 over the Baltimore Orioles in the second game of a doubleheader Wednesday.
Minnesota rallied from a 3-0 deficit to win the opener 6-3, then fell behind 6-4 before coming back in the second game. The Twins trailed by a run when Willi Castro led off the eighth with a single, stole second and advanced to third on a balk by Yennier Cano (0-3). After a walk to Royce Lewis, Clemens hit a drive to right to give Minnesota the lead.
Kody Fu nderburk (1-0) won in relief. Cole Sands pitched a perfect ninth for his first save.
The Orioles scored six runs in the third — thanks largely to a grand slam by Cedric Mullins and a solo shot by Heston Kjerstad.
Yankees 3, Mariners 2: Aaron Judge hit a go-ahead home run in the eighth inning as visiting New York beat Seattle.
