Bader was on the bench for the last two games due to an illness, but was able to pinch hit on Wednesday and socked a home run. With him feeling healthy again, he’s back in the starting lineup.

They had only half as many as the Orioles, but the Twins made their hits count, getting a solo homer from Trevor Larnach in the sixth. They then strung a double and a single after a pair of walks got things going during their three-run eighth inning. France went 6-for-11 in the three games against the Orioles after going hitless in the previous series in Boston. He’s batting .277/.346/.401 with three homers and 21 RBI through 38 games.

Ober gave up eight hits, but he stranded runners on base in all five innings today, limiting the damage. Ober learned last night that he’d be moved up to start on four days’ rest with Joe Ryan being scratched due to illness. He’s due to get an extra off day next time through before a midweek rematch with the Orioles.

Someday no one will remember that Rocco Baldelli seemed to want Griffin Jax to be the Twins’ primary closer this year. Duran has allowed two runs in 17 1/3 innings, and he’s collected four saves in the last week after finishing with just two in April.

Ward, 31, gave the Angels a 2-0 lead with a two-run homer off Chris Bassitt in the first inning. He’s now gone deep in two of his last three games, and it ‘improves’ his slash to .181/.224/.391. Ward has been one of the most hot/cold players players in the sport over the last few years, so fantasy managers who can afford to make some roster moves may want to look at Ward while the going is good.

The Orioles will probably send down Dylan Carlson to make room for Tyler O’Neill this weekend, but perhaps there’s a chance Kjerstad will be the move instead. With his .213/.250/.340 line in 100 plate appearances, he’s been worth negative WAR so far. Statcast thinks he’s been pretty unlucky, but even if he had better numbers on contact, his 31/2 K/BB ratio would still be hideous.

Greene will get a break and likely return to the lineup for the second game of the twin-billing. Zach McKinstry will get the start in left field while Greene rests.
