Lance Lynn made his Twins debut Tuesday after being signed away from the St. Louis Cardinals over the weekend. Lynn went three innings and allowed no runs or hits while walking one and striking out five Orioles.

Twins first baseman Joe Mauer paced the offense with a pair of hits, shortstop Jorge Polanco had a run batted in and a stolen base and outfielder Ryan LaMerre added a home run in the loss.

The Twins will play against the Boston Red Sox Wednesday afternoon in Fort Myers. First pitch is slated for 12:05.
