The Baltimore Orioles defeated the Minnesota Twins 8–6 on March 29 at Oriole Park at Camden Yards in a spring training matchup that showcased contrasting offensive efficiency despite similar hit totals. Both teams collected 12 hits, but Baltimore's pitching staff struck out 12 Twins batters while allowing just 6 earned runs across an ERA of 3.33, compared to Minnesota's 5 strikeouts and 3.96 ERA with 8 runs surrendered. The Orioles' one home run and 8 RBIs proved decisive, while the Twins managed only 5 RBIs despite matching Baltimore's hit count and posting a marginally higher .673 OPS.

The Twins' 12 strikeouts underscored their offensive struggles in a game where contact quality mattered more than volume. This result suggests the Orioles' pitching depth may provide early-season advantages in close contests.
