Britton, O's Snap Five-Game Skid

Welcome back, Zach.

Zach Britton held a struggling Minnesota Twins squad to just a run over five innings, as the Birds snapped a five-game losing streak with a 4-1 victory on Monday night.

Britton (7-9) allowed only a run despite allowing six hits and four walks while striking out four. His relief corps was brilliant...the 'pen allowed only two hits over the final four frames, striking out six.

Michael Gonzalez continues to impress...he struck out all four batters he faced.

J.J. Hardy broke a 1-1 tie game with a solo homer against his former team...as it turned out, that was all the insurance the O's needed. Matt Wieters also homered, his second in as many games.

Alfredo Simon takes the mound Tuesday night...
