Robinson, both in the fifth inning, put the Twins ahead 5-2.  The Mets scored three in the sixth to tie it 5-5 and it stayed there through nine innings.  The Twins took a 6-5 lead in the top of the tenth on a bases loaded walk, but the Mets tied it in the bottom of the tenth on an RBI single by Angel Manzanarez.  The Mets nearly won it then, but center fielder Mark Contreras  threw out Gabriel Jimenez, who was trying to score from second on the hit.  The Twins scored twice in the eleventh when, after the first two batters were retired, a Cabbage double was followed by three walks and a hit batsman.  The Mets got one back in the bottom of the eleventh on an error, a ground out, and a passed ball, but they never got the tying run on base.

GCL TWINS 1, GCL ORIOLES 0 AT ORIOLES

Akil Baddoo opened the game with a double, went to third on a Colton Davis single, and scored on a double play.  And there was no more scoring the rest of the game.  The Orioles had only three hits and at one point had ten in a row retired.  Their lone threat came in the seventh, when a walk, a hit batsman, and a bunt put men on second and third with one out.  A pair of ground outs ended the inning.

Pedro Garcia pitched 6.2 scoreless innings, giving up three hits and a walk with four strikeouts in his GCL debut.  Vadim Balan struck out two in 2.1 scoreless innings to keep his ERA at zero with a WHIP of 0.60 through five innings.  Baddoo was 2-for-4.  Jean Carlos Arias was 1-for-3 with a walk and is batting .333.  Colton Burns was 1-for-3 with a walk and is batting .400.  Alex Robles was 1-for-3 and is batting .400.  Darling Cuesto made his GCL debut and was 0-for-3.

DSL TWINS 12, DSL ROCKIES 2 AT TWINS
