Ubaldo Jimenez gets the starting nod for the Orioles in this series finale and he did not have a good last outing giving up five earned runs in five innings in a 6-2 loss to the Milwaukee Brewers. The Orioles have lost two of his last three starts where he gave up 14 earned runs in seven innings in the losses and went eight innings and did not give up any earned runs and only allowed two hits in the one loss.

<p>
Kyle Gibson goes for the Twins today and in his last start he gave up two earned runs in six innings in a 5-4 win over the L.A. Angels. The Twins have won two of his last three starts where he was solid in the wins, but tagged up for five earned runs in only three innings in the loss. In Gibson’s first seven starts of the season he had an ERA of 8.62, but in his last eight starts he is 4-2 with an ERA of 3.91. He faced Baltimore on the road on May 22nd and while he gave up six earned runs in five innings the lineup had his back in a 14-7 Baltimore win. In Gibson’s last five starts he has given up seven HR.

Baltimore Orioles vs. Minnesota Twins Prediction July 9th/2017

The Orioles snapped their five-game losing streak with their win over the Twins yesterday. They are tied with the Toronto Blue Jays for last place in the AL East.

Baltimore had given up 15 runs in losing the first two games of this series before holding the Twins to only one run in yesterday’s win. The Twins have won four of their last six games and they are in 2nd place in the AL Central only 2.5 games back of the Cleveland Indians. The big question for Baltimore in this game is which Jimenez will show up? The one that has been shelled in two of his last three starts or the one who pitched a scoreless gem in the one win? He will not pitch a gem in this game and the Twins will tag him up. On the other side of the coin Gibson will have a 2nd straight solid outing and keep the Orioles lineup in check. Minnesota will take this game and the series and head to the All Star break in the heart of the AL Central race.
