Jeremy Guthrie put together a second straight strong start to pick up his 9th win as the Orioles beat the Twins 5-1 Wednesday in the final contest of a nine-game road trip. The O's ended the trip 4-5 and won the season series from the Twins, three wins to two. It's their first season series win vs. Minnesota since 2002. The O's win snapped Minnesota's five-game win streak.
