The Minnesota Twins had one of the top offenses in the majors last season.They havent come close to that type of production in 2011.

Minnesota tries to avoid losing its second straight game to the OaklandAthletics in Sundays series finale at Target Field.

Fri, Apr 8 - Final Sat, Apr 9 - Final Sun, Apr 10 - Final

Third in the majors with a .273 batting average last season, the Twins (3-5)are hitting .203 after striking out eight times and managing just five singlesin Saturdays 1-0 loss. Minnesotas top four hitters went a combined 1 for 15with a single and a walk after going 6 for 15 with two RBIs in Fridays 2-1 win.

Three-time AL batting champion is hitting .231, while lastseasons RBI leaders - (112), (92) and (0-1, 6.00 ERA) takes the ball.

The right-hander enjoyed the teams second-highest run support average lastseason at 5.23.

Baker makes his home debut following a rocky first outing, Mondays 4-3 lossat the New York Yankees. Baker, who walked four and hit a batter, allowed fourruns and two homers in the first two innings.

It was his first appearance since pitching 2 1-3 innings of relief in a 6-1road loss in Game 3 of the AL division series loss on Oct. 9 that knockedMinnesota out of the postseason.

It doesnt feel good (to lose) anywhere, but especially here, Baker toldthe Twins official website.

Baker has enjoyed more success at Target Field, where he went 8-3 with a3.86 ERA in 15 starts last season.

He is 4-0 with a 3.62 ERA in five starts against Oakland.

The As (3-5) will counter with (0-0, 4.50), who makes hisfirst start in Minnesota since Sept. 17, 2005, while with the Chicago White Sox.

Limited to 22 starts over the last three seasons due to shoulder problems,the right-hander made his first start since Oct. 2, 2009, on Tuesday in a 7-6,10-inning loss at Toronto. McCarthy did not allow a hit until the fourth inningand lasted eight, giving up five runs and eight hits during his 89-pitch outing.

He was great, manager Bob Geren told the As official website. I thoughthe did a great job going eight. Thats what we saw in spring training. I wasreal happy with his outing - very nice.

If McCarthy cant deliver another extended outing, Geren should feelcomfortable going to the bullpen, which has surrendered just two runs in itslast eight innings after getting tagged for six in season-opening back-to-backlosses to Seattle.

As right fielder looks to extend his hitting streak againstMinnesota to 25 after reaching on an infield single in the seventh Saturday. Heis 6 for 22 with two doubles and a triple off Baker.

The As, 2-3 on their nine-game trip, won two of three in their last visitto Minnesota from Sept. 17-19.
