From The Sports Network

SARASOTA, Fla. - Ben Revere went 3-for-5 and Kevin Slowey threw three shutout innings, as the Minnesota Twins beat the Baltimore Orioles, 5-0, in Grapefruit League action.

Revere, the Twins' first-round pick in the 2007 draft, finished with a double, triple and two runs scored. Slowey allowed only one hit and a walk in his start, while striking out two. Michael Cuddyer went 2-for-3 with two runs batted in.

Brian Matusz allowed two runs on three hits over 2 2/3 innings in the start for Baltimore, though struck out six. Felix Pie had one of three Orioles hits.

In other Twins news, all of the hot dogs sold at Target Field will be made in Albert Lea. The Minnesota Twins announced yesterday that four different types of Schweigert hot dogs are on the menu at the new ballpark. Schweigert has only one other sports partnership with the Minnesota Wild hockey team at the Xcel Energy Center in Saint Paul. Austin-based Hormel provided hot dogs for Twins games at the Metrodome. Something that won't change in the Twins' new home is the popular Dollar Dog night. Fans attending Monday games at Target Field in 2010 can buy hot dogs for one dollar each, but they'll be limited to just two dogs per customer.
