Minnesota Twins right-hander Scott Baker left the game against Tampa Bay after five innings because of what the team is calling a mild right elbow strain. Baker breezed through five innings, giving up one unearned run on three hits. He struck out three and walked one, throwing 62 pitches in the game. But Phil Dumatrait came out to start the sixth inning in relief.
