Wigginton homers, Bergesen, Orioles top Twins 2-0

Ty Wigginton hit his 10th home run, just one short of his total last season, and starter Brad Bergesen was at his best for the Baltimore Orioles in a 2-0 victory over the Minnesota Twins on a damp Thursday night.

Carl Pavano (3-3) lost his second straight eight-inning, two-run performance. He went right at the free-swinging Orioles, throwing 70 of 97 pitches for strikes, but Wigginton spoiled the outing. With the homer, Wigginton moved into second place behind Chicago's Paul Konerko (12) on the American League home run list.

After failing to last past the fifth in each of his first four starts, Bergesen (2-2) scattered six hits and two walks over 6 2-3 innings.
