Orioles power into playoffs on HRs by McCann, Kjerstad for 6-2 win to finish sweep of Twins

Associated Press  

MINNEAPOLIS — James McCann hit a three-homer and Heston Kjerstad went deep to launch the Baltimore Orioles into the postseason with a 6-2 victory over the Minnesota Twins that completed a three-game sweep on Sunday. “We broke down as the season went on, and that’s hard to say, but it happened,” said manager Rocco Baldelli, who was assured he’ll return to the job next year. “So now even more work than probably any offseason I’ve ever had in front of me.” Baltimore will play in a second straight postseason for the first time since eventual Hall of Fame member Mike Mussina was fronting the rotation in 1996-97. “Awesome start, six great innings, and he continued to do what he’s done all year.” Twins starter Bailey Ober gave up three runs in five innings to finish 0-3 in his final nine starts of what was still a productive season for the 6-foot-9 right-hander.
