Many times during his troubled four seasons with the Orioles, Ubaldo Jimenez has been a lightning rod for criticism. In the final season of a four-year, $50 million contract, the right-hander is yet again a polarizing figure among the fan base, but certainly not in his clubhouse.
Jimenez lost a five-run lead, and while he wasn't the losing pitcher, the Orioles still dropped a 14-7 decision to the Minnesota Twins before 12,882 at Oriole Park May 22.
As Jimenez took the mound for the fifth inning, the Orioles led, 6-2, but he allowed hits to the first four batters of the inning, and quickly the game was tied at 6.
Right-hander Tyler Wilson, who was called up earlier in the day, gave up six runs in 1.1 innings, and the game was suddenly out of hand.
