BALTIMORE, Aug. 26 (UPI) -- Scott Baker limited Baltimore to three runs Sunday as Minnesota ripped the Orioles 11-3, capping a four-game sweep.

Rondell White hit a two-run homer in the ninth, and was one of three players with two RBI. Torri Hunter had two hits, extending his hitting streak to 13 straight games.

Baker gave up seven hits as he improved to 7-6 while stopping a two-game personal skid and helping the Twins win their fifth straight.

Baltimore got one RBI each from Paul Bako and Corey Patterson, while one run scored on Alexi Casilla’s third-inning throwing error. Freddie Bynum had three hits, and Aubrey Huff had two for the Orioles, who have dropped six in a row.

Loser Erik Bedard (13-5) became Baltimore’s single-season strikeout leader.
