KEY GAME INFORMATION
MINNESOTA: 2016: 59-103, fifth place.
Manager: Paul Molitor (third season). He's Here: C Jason Castro, RHP Matt Belisle, SS Ehire Adrianza, LHP Craig Breslow. He's Outta Here: 3B Trevor Plouffe, C Kurt Suzuki, LHP Tommy Milone, RHP Pat Light.
Projected lineup: 2B Brian Dozier (.268, 42, 99, 18/20 SBs), RF Max Kepler (.235, 17, 63), CF Byron Buxton (.225, 10 HRs, 38 RBIs, 118 Ks in 298 ABs), 1B Joe Mauer (.261, 11, 49), 3B Miguel Sano (.236, 25, 66, 178 Ks in 437 ABs), DH Kennys Vargas (.230, 10, 20 in 152 ABs), LF Eddie Rosario (.269, 10, 32), C Jason Castro (.210, 11, 32 with Houston), SS Jorge Polanco (.282, 4, 27 in 245 ABs).
Rotation: RH Ervin Santana (7-11, 3.38 ERA, 149 Ks), RH Phil Hughes (1-7, 5.95, 11 HRs, 11 starts), LH Hector Santiago (3-6, 5.58, 13 HRs, 11 starts after trade with Angels), RH Kyle Gibson (6-11, 5.07, 1.561 WHIP), LH Adalberto Mejia (rookie).
Key relievers: RH Brandon Kintzler (0-2, 3.15, 17/20 saves), RH Matt Belisle (0-0, 1.76 in 40 games for Nationals), RH Ryan Pressly (6-7, 3.70, 1 save in 72 games), LH Taylor Rogers (3-1, 3.96, 64 Ks in 57 games), LH Craig Breslow (0-2, 4.50 in 15 games for Marlins). Hot Spot: Starting Rotation. The resuscitation of a team with the worst record in the majors last season must begin with starting pitching that ranked 30th out of 30 in wins (37), ERA (5.39) and strikeouts (655). Hughes, Santiago, Gibson and Berrios will all be counted on to make 2016 the aberration and not the standard. Adding Castro, who has a strong reputation for game calling and pitch framing, probably can't hurt. There's enough depth in the group at least to give the Twins a chance to return to respectability as new baseball chief Derek Falvey continues to try to revamp organizational philosophy and process for the long term. The bullpen appears more vulnerable than the rotation, despite being bolstered by the addition of the veteran Belisle. Three-time All-Star closer Glen Perkins is still working his way back from surgery last year to repair a torn labrum and will likely land on the disabled list to start the season. Kintzler fared well in his place, but doesn't have a track record.
Outlook: The Twins ranked a respectable sixth in the American League in total bases and eighth in OPS despite their abysmal record last year. Buxton's sparkling September, following a second straight frustrating summer, restored his and the club's confidence in the 2012 second overall draft pick. Dozier probably hit his power ceiling in 2016, but if Buxton and Sano can strike out less and get on base more there's the potential in place for a productive offense. Vargas hit his way back into contention for the DH spot with a decent finish to 2016, but the pressure is on him to prove he's worth a spot in the lineup with a strong performance this spring by Park, who struggled badly to adjust to major league pitching in his arrival from South Korea last year.

Hot spots: Fifth starter and bullpen. A shoulder injury in camp left 16-game winner Chris Tillman in doubt for opening day. That opened the floodgates for a pair of competitions that are somewhat intertwined, since the Orioles value long relievers more than perhaps any team. Wright and Wilson, who shuttled between the bullpen and the rotation last season, are the top candidates for the final rotation job. Aquino is a candidate to start or relieve. Logan Verrett, Richard Bleier and Zach Stewart are all potential long men. Keep an eye on Lee, a 24-year-old lefty who missed most of last season with a lat strain.
Outlook: Boston landed the biggest trade chip of the winter and Baltimore couldn't (or didn't try to) acquire the number-one starter it badly needed. When the dust settled, the Orioles look like another 80-something win team that will lean on its organizational depth to overachieve. Machado is already one of the five best players in the game, and at 24 his prime years might still lie ahead. Only three teams in history have had three 40-home run hitters, but Machado, Davis and Trumbo are capable of making it four. Expect some high-scoring games: the Orioles' outfield earned low marks on defense last year, while their starting rotation is iffy at best. Bridging the gap to closer Britton will be key.
PREVIEW
Twins aim for sweep of host Orioles
 

BALTIMORE -- Chris Tillman is back and working on improving with each start, something the Baltimore Orioles right-hander will try again in a Wednesday matinee with the Twins. He also is hoping to prevent a Minnesota sweep.

Minnesota (24-18) won the first two games of the three-game series during its lone visit to Baltimore this year.

The Twins took the second game 2-0 on Tuesday night when Ervin Santana threw a two-hit shutout.

"You can't throw enough superlatives his way when you have a performance like that," Minnesota manager Paul Molitor said about Santana.

The Orioles would like to see Tillman throw the way Santana did. Tillman (1-0, 3.52 ERA) will be making his fourth start after missing the first several weeks of the season due to shoulder bursitis.

He had a no-decision in his last start, when he gave up three runs in six innings against the Toronto Blue Jays on Friday.

The right-hander appears to be getting stronger with each start, and the Orioles likely are hoping to see him stretch out a bit as time goes on to help take pressure off a bullpen worn down a bit due to inconsistent starting.

Still, Tillman is looking for his first career win versus the Twins. He has an 0-4 career record with a 4.50 ERA in seven career starts.

Manager Buck Showalter is optimistic the Orioles can snap their three-game losing streak.

"There's just a rhythm to it, but like I've said many times, your momentum is who's pitching for you and who you're facing," Showalter said. "You can be swinging the bats as good as can be swung, and you get a guy like (Santana) on top of his game, and it can make you look that way."

Twins right-hander Jose Berrios (2-0, 0.59 ERA) will make his third start of the season on Wednesday. He is coming off a stellar start against the Rockies on Thursday, when he tossed 7 2/3 shutout innings of two-hit ball. He struck out 11 against just one walk.

The 22-year-old is the youngest pitcher in the major leagues to post 11 or more strikeouts this season.

Berrios has an 0-0 record with a 5.40 ERA in one game against the Orioles, a start at home on May 10, 2016.

The Orioles kept going with their nearly daily flurry of moves on Tuesday. They sent down right-hander Stefan Crichton to Triple-A Norfolk and recalled left-hander Jayson Aquino.

As for struggling starter Ubaldo Jimenez, Showalter said the right-hander is still in the rotation and is scheduled to start Sunday but that the team will see what happens when that day comes.

The Twins did not make a move and were waiting for more information on injured starter Phil Hughes, placed on the disabled list Monday due to right biceps inflammation. Manager Paul Molitor said that Hughes had an MRI exam Tuesday, but the results were not immediately known.

In addition, Molitor said Hughes would have another type of exam on Wednesday.

"They're turning over every stone here to make sure we're not missing anything," Molitor said.
