Berrios allowed three runs on eight hits and one walk while striking out six over five innings against the Orioles on Tuesday. He did not factor in the decision in the Twins' 5-3 loss.
After holding the O's to one run through four, Berrios struck out Ryan Flaherty and Joey Rickard swinging to begin the fifth inning. Then Manny Machado got his third look at him. Machado homered and Adam Jones followed with a long ball of his own, souring what was shaping up to be a strong start for Berrios. There were still positives to take away from the outing, namely his one walk on the heels of a five-walk performance in his last start. Berrios comes with some risk, but the strikeouts make the bumps in the road easier to deal with.
