When the Baltimore Orioles travel to Target Field on Sunday afternoon to take on the Minnesota Twins, they will send right hander Miguel Gonzalez to the mound. The Twins will counter with the former New York Yankee, Phillip Hughes.

Gonzalez has made 5 starts this season and has struggled for the Orioles. He is 1-2 with a 5.19 ERA, 1.42 WHIP and .284 BAA. He has given up 15 earned runs in 26 innings on 29 hits and 8 walks. He has recorded 21 strikeouts and is coming off a performance that saw him keep the ball on the ground, something he has struggled with this season. The native of Mexico has faced just 2 players from the Twins, Eduardo Nunez and Kurt Suzuki.

When Hughes came into the league with the Yankees, he was supposed to be the next superstar pitcher. In 5 starts this season, he has thrown 28 innings and has allowed 16 earned runs on 33 hits and 6 walks with 26 strikeouts. He is 2-1 this season with a 5.14 ERA and will look to continue his success against the current Orioles. Nick Markakis (.319) has had great success against him, while players like Adam Jones, J.J. Hardy and Matt Wieters have struggled mightily against him. Jones has hit 2 home runs against him, but has a sub .200 average.
