Twins bullpen coughs up lead in loss to O's



(Minneapolis, MN)   -- 7-20-12-- Baltimore's Mark Reynolds' two-run single in the
eighth inning lifted the Baltimore Orioles to a 4-3 win over the Minnesota
Twins.    Wei-Yin Chen earned the win after allowing three runs on six hits
over seven frames.   Jim Johnson tossed a perfect ninth to secure his 28th
save of the season.   Johnson is tied with Atlanta's Craig Kimbrel for the
major league lead in saves.   Chris Davis hit a solo homer and Nick Markakis
also knocked in a run for Baltimore, which has won two straight on the heels
of a three-game slide.   Josh Willingham, Trevor Plouffe and Alexi Casilla
each drove in a run for the Twins, who have dropped five of seven since the
All-Star break.   Alex Burnett was pegged with the loss. (MNN)
