Around the Horn

Twins' Update: The Twins have been up and down this year, but they're certainly glad to have Joe Mauer back. After missing the spring and the start of the season with inflammation in his right sacroiliac joint, the All-Star catcher hit a homer in his first at-bat Friday and is 7-for-17 with three RBIs since returning. Michael Cuddyer is also starting to heat up with two hits in three straight games heading into Tuesday. Former American League Most Valuable Player Justin Morneau has four homers and 11 RBIs during his past 11 games. The Twins lead the AL with a .990 fielding percentage, but their 5.29 team ERA entering Tuesday was the fourth worst in the AL. Minnesota has dominated the Orioles the past three years, going 16-6 against them, including 10-3 at Camden Yards.
