Twins starting pitcher Bailey Ober reacts as Wyatt Langford of the Rangers goes into his home run trot after a three-run blast in the second inning at Target Field on Thursday. (Matt Krohn\/The Associated Press)<\/div>\n

\u201cI think I\u2019ll be fine,\u201d Ober said. \u201cI mean, obviously if I keep pitching like this, then probably not. I\u2019ve been dealing with this since spring. I\u2019ve been able to throw well, five quality starts in a row with the same stuff, so I feel like I\u2019ll be able to do that. I\u2019ve just got to get back to what I do, and that\u2019s throwing strikes, getting ahead of guys, not walking anyone.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Ober, who gave up a leadoff homer to Josh Smith to begin his afternoon, unraveled during a five-run, 41-pitch second inning. He had trouble finding his correct release point, he said, and only 16 of his 41 pitches were for strikes.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

He gave up a solo homer to Jake Burger, who yanked a changeup over the left-field wall, then watched five straight batters reach base with two outs. Wyatt Langford punctuated the second inning with a three-run homer, pulling a sinker that hit the left-field foul pole.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cYou\u2019re going to run into weeks and even months that are not going to be the easiest time,\u201d Baldelli said. \u201cYou\u2019re not going to be able to rely on simply your top guys and your big-name players all the time. That\u2019s actually the beauty of the game. We\u2019ve already seen many guys on this team step up.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The Rangers, who entered this week with one of the lowest-scoring offenses in the majors, scored six runs in the sixth inning against Twins relievers Cole Sands and Joey Wentz. Adolis Garc\u00eda hit a three-run homer off Wentz, who walked three batters in his Twins debut after he was claimed off waivers Wednesday.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Danny Coulombe, who threw one pitch to record one out in the seventh inning, was the only Twins pitcher who didn\u2019t give up a run.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
