Paddack Looks to Secure First Win Against Orioles as Lewis Returns to Twins Lineup

Paddack has delivered two solid starts, but has yet to secure a win heading into this upcoming game. The Twins' offense has been inconsistent, a trend that may change once Royce Lewis rejoins the lineup. Despite Baltimore's recent struggles against Milwaukee, they boast a potent lineup that was on display in their most recent game. The additions of Cowser and Jackson Holiday from the farm system have strengthened their lineup. Rodriguez has been impressive in his first three starts and is expected to record multiple strikeouts in this game, leading the Orioles to a victory on their home turf.
