MINNEAPOLIS (AP) -The Minnesota Twins activated right-hander Scott Baker from the 15-day disabled list Wednesday night, bringing their staff to 13 pitchers. Rookie infielder Matt Macri was optioned to Triple-A Rochester after collecting three hits in seven at-bats over four games. Baker will start Thursday against Baltimore, after spending the last month on the DL and in extended spring training trying to strengthen a strained right groin muscle. Manager Ron Gardenhire didn't want to reduce his bench to |

The right-hander is making sure it doesn't happen again and will go for his fourth straight winning decision tonight in the Baltimore Orioles' second test of a three-game series with the Minnesota Twins at the Metrodome. Cabrera led the majors with 17 setbacks last year and also issued a major- league high 108 walks in 2007. However, he issued just one free pass during his current three-decision win streak from May 8-20 and is 5-1 with a 3.60 earne |

The Florida Marlins select sixth, with Cincinnati, the White Sox, Washington and the Houston Astros completing the top 10. The New York Mets and Minnesota Twins each have two first-round choices and three picks apiece within the top 33. Pitching usually dominates early on in the first round, but that will likely not be the case this year. This draft is not considered to be as deep in that regard as in years |

| (Best E Casino) - Without Erik Bedard, many thought that pitching would be a problem for the Baltimore Orioles this season. The team shuffles its rotation tonight in the opener of a three-game series with the Minnesota Twins at the Metrodome. Baltimore's team earned run average of 4.16 ranks eighth in the American League, while its starters have posted a 4.67 ERA thus far. That ranks eighth in the league as well. Tonight marks Steve Trachsel's turn in the rotation, but the right-hander was used for five inni |

| (Best E Casino) - Livan Hernandez tries to keep his unblemished record at the Metrodome intact this evening, when his Minnesota Twins wrap up their four- game set with the New York Yankees. However, Hernandez, who is 4-0 in his six home starts, hasn't won in his last three trips to the hill and enters tonight's tilt on the heels of back-to-back shaky outings. Hernandez received a no-decision on Wednesday against the Kansas City Royals, as he allowed eight runs (6 earned) and 13 hits in six innings of a 9-8 w |

Joe Torre had seen enough of Santana during his previous managerial gig, and the domination of the two-time AL Cy Young winner continued Sunday night. While a member of the Minnesota Twins, Santana went 4-0 against the New York Yankees in regular-season play during Torre's 12-year managerial tenure in the Bronx. "He's such a pro. You give him a five-run lead and he certainly knows what to do with it," Torre said. "He's not going to be |
