Milwaukee, WI (Best E Casino) - Minnesota Twins starter Scott Baker became the first pitcher in franchise history to strike out four batters in an inning in the team's game at Milwaukee on Sunday. The right-hander fanned Ryan Braun to start off the third inning, then set down Prince Fielder, who reached first base when the ball got away from catcher Mike Redmond. Baker then struck out Russell Branyan and Mike Cameron looking. Baker becomes the first pitcher to accomplish the feat since the Dodgers' Brad Penny fanned four Arizona Diamondbacks in a frame on September 23, 2006.
