Baker tosses one-hitter, blanks Royals <h3>MINNESOTA 5, KANSAS CITY 0 (2ND GAME)</h3>By Anthony Maggio PA Sportsticker Contributing Writer MINNEAPOLIS (Ticker) -- Scott Baker was almost perfect. Baker carried a perfect game into the ninth inning beforeyielding a walk and a single as the Minnesota Twins snapped afour-game losing streak with a 5-0 victory over the Kansas CityRoyals in the second game of Friday's doubleheader. Baker (8-6) had been pitching well of late, entering the contestwith a 2.88 ERA in his previous six starts despite a 3-2 recordover that stretch. But this was the most impressive he hasbeen during his three-year career, striking out a career-highnine while completely silencing what was an opportunistic Royalsoffense earlier in the day. It was the 15th one-hitter in the history of the Twins franchise. John Buck drew a five-pitch walk to lead off the ninth inning,breaking up the perfect game. One out later, Mike Sweeney lacedBaker's 0-1 offering into center field for a base hit to endhis no-hit bid. Sweeney was activated from the disabled list after the firstgame of the doubleheader. It was nearly the third no-hitter thrown this season - all ofwhich would have come from American League Central Divisionstarters. Mark Buehrle held the Texas Rangers hitless inChicago for the White Sox on April 18 and Detroit Tigersrighthander Justin Verlander accomplished the feat against theMilwaukee Brewers on June 12 at Comerica Park. All the offense Baker needed came in the third inning, as MikeRedmond and Nick Punto both singled and later scored onBartlett's two-out RBI base hit to right-center field, givingthe Twins a 2-0 lead. Minnesota left the bases loaded in the fourth, but Bartlettscored on Justin Morneau's sacrifice fly in the fifth to make it3-0. Royals starter Gil Meche (7-12) dropped his sixth straightdecision and has gone eight starts without a win despiteallowing just two earned runs in five of those outings. Aftergiving up two runs and seven hits in his first start against theTwins this season, Meche allowed three runs and seven hits inseven innings in this one. Baker struck out five straight after David DeJesus led off thegame with a flyout and had six strikeouts after three innings. Ross Gload nearly had a line-drive single with two outs in thefourth, but after appearing to lose the ball momentarily,Minnesota center fielder Torii Hunter made the catch whilefalling down. Billy Butler hit a deep fly ball to left to leadoff the fifth, but it played easily by Rondell White. Redmond hit an RBI single and White drove in a run with asacrifice fly in the eighth inning off reliever Ryan Braun toprovide the final margin. Redmond went 2-for-4 with an RBI anda run scored and Michael Cuddyer was 3-for-4 with a run.
Baker tosses one-hitter, blanks Royals <h3>MINNESOTA 5, KANSAS CITY 0 (2ND GAME)</h3>By Anthony Maggio PA Sportsticker Contributing Writer MINNEAPOLIS (Ticker) -- Scott Baker was almost perfect. Baker carried a perfect game into the ninth inning beforeyielding a walk and a single as the Minnesota Twins snapped afour-game losing streak with a 5-0 victory over the Kansas CityRoyals in the second game of Friday's doubleheader. Baker (8-6) had been pitching well of late, entering the contestwith a 2.88 ERA in his previous six starts despite a 3-2 recordover that stretch. But this was the most impressive he hasbeen during his three-year career, tying a career-high with ninestrikeouts while completely silencing what was an opportunisticRoyals offense earlier in the day during a 9-4 victory. It was the 15th one-hitter in the history of the Twinsfranchise. It came one week after the birth of Baker's secondson, Easton, who was born five weeks premature. "I know a lot's been going on and it just keeps things inperspective," Baker said. "Once you get things in perspective,it makes this game go a lot better. Anytime you have somethingof that nature happen, it makes the game all the more fun." John Buck drew a five-pitch walk to lead off the ninth inning,breaking up the perfect game. One out later, pinch hitter MikeSweeney laced Baker's 0-1 offering into center field for a basehit to end his no-hit bid. "I thought he was going to hit a hard, ground-ball double play,"Twins manager Ron Gardenhire said. "I honestly thought that.He had such a strong, sinking fastball tonight, I thought forsure a ground ball was coming." Sweeney was activated from the disabled list after the firstgame of the doubleheader. He appeared in a game for the firsttime since June 17. "It's been so long since I had a hit in the big leagues, I wasgoing to ask him for the ball," Sweeney said. "I did the best I could," Baker said. "I made the right pitch." It was nearly the third no-hitter thrown this season - all ofwhich would have come from American League Central Divisionstarters. Mark Buehrle held the Texas Rangers hitless inChicago for the White Sox on April 18 and Detroit Tigersrighthander Justin Verlander accomplished the feat against theMilwaukee Brewers on June 12 at Comerica Park. It would have been Minnesota's first no-hitter since Eric Miltonaccomplished the feat against Anaheim on September 11, 1999. "The goal is always to win," Royals manager Buddy Bell said."But you never want to be no-hit. That's embarrassing,regardless of who does it." All the offense Baker needed came in the third inning, as MikeRedmond and Nick Punto both singled and later scored on JasonBartlett's two-out RBI base hit to right-center field, givingthe Twins a 2-0 lead. Minnesota left the bases loaded in the fourth, but Bartlettscored on Justin Morneau's sacrifice fly in the fifth to make it3-0. Royals starter Gil Meche (7-12) dropped his sixth straightdecision and has gone eight starts without a win despiteallowing just two earned runs in five of those outings. Aftergiving up two runs and seven hits in his first start against theTwins this season, Meche allowed three runs and seven hits andthree walks with three strikeouts in seven innings in this one. "What are you going to do?" Meche asked. "As a pitcher, yourespect how good a guy is throwing the game. Obviously, youwant to win. You don't see too many games pitched like that inthis league too often. Nothing else to do but tip your cap tothem and go after them in another five days." Baker struck out five straight after David DeJesus led off thegame with a flyout and had six strikeouts after three innings. Ross Gload nearly had a line-drive single with two outs in thefourth, but after appearing to lose the ball momentarily,Minnesota center fielder Torii Hunter made the catch whilefalling down. Billy Butler hit a deep fly ball to left to leadoff the fifth, but it played easily by Rondell White. Baker cruised from there, with only one ball leaving the infieldthrough eight innings. Including his July 30th outing againstthe Royals in which he allowed one run and two hits in eightinnings, Baker had retired 38 consecutive Kansas City hittersbefore Buck's ninth-inning walk. Baker claimed nerves were not a factor in the ninth. "I wasn't nervous, to be honest with you," Baker said. "I knowI pitched a great game, even if it didn't work out." Redmond hit an RBI single and White drove in a run with asacrifice fly in the eighth inning off reliever Ryan Braun toprovide the final margin. Redmond went 2-for-4 with an RBI and a run scored, improving hisaverage to .419 in eight games against the Royals this season.Michael Cuddyer was 3-for-4 with a run.
