After getting roughed up throughout the second half, Baker quieted the critics by going 8-2 down the stretch, reestablishing himself as a solid second-tier starter. http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Scott_Baker/569733 569733 Tue, 06 Oct 2009 21:12:19 EDT mlb.com 47 days 4 hours 4 minutes http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Scott_Baker/569733 Never mind Baker's rocky start. The finesse righty has gone 12-4 since July 12, posting a 3.45 ERA over that span. That includes a stellar outing last time out against the Tigers, whom he allowed just one unearned run over five innings to improve to 15-9 with a 4.36 ERA and a 160/46 K/BB ratio on the season. Baker has typically fared better at home during his career than on the road. http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Scott_Baker/567241 567241 Mon, 05 Oct 2009 13:04:33 EDT mlb.com 48 days 12 hours 12 minutes http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Scott_Baker/567241 The Associated Press reports Minnesota Twins SP Scott Baker will start the tiebreaker against the Detroit Tigers Tuesday, Oct. 6. http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Scott_Baker/566800 566800 Mon, 05 Oct 2009 9:08:01 EDT kffl.com 48 days 16 hours 9 minutes http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Scott_Baker/566800 Baker will start Tuesday's tiebraker game against Detroit.

Our View: Baker was the hero for the Twins last Thursday in a do-or-die game against Detroit that Minnesota won 8-3, so he's no stranger to this type of pressure. He'll look to repeat that effort and get the Twins back to the postseason for one more season while being housed in the Metrodome. http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Scott_Baker/566342 566342 Sun, 04 Oct 2009 23:28:02 EDT fanball.com 49 days 1 hours 49 minutes http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Scott_Baker/566342 News: Scott Baker had a strong start and got plenty of run, helping the Twins beat the Detroit Tigers 8-3 Thursday to avoid elimination from playoff contention. Baker (15-9) gave up an unearned run and five hits over five innings.

The 15 wins marks a career best for the 28-year-old who likely finishes the season with a passable 4.36 ERA. http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Scott_Baker/559740 559740 Thu, 01 Oct 2009 17:24:38 EDT mlb.com 52 days 7 hours 52 minutes http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Scott_Baker/559740 The Associated Press reports Minnesota Twins SP Scott Baker (15-9) gave up an unearned run and five hits in five innings to beat the Detroit Tigers Thursday, Oct. 1. http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Scott_Baker/559720 559720 Thu, 01 Oct 2009 17:12:01 EDT kffl.com 52 days 8 hours 5 minutes http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Scott_Baker/559720 Scott Baker moved to 15-9 by limiting the Tigers to an unearned run in five innings on Thursday. The win leaves the Twins two back with three games left this weekend.

Baker went five innings and allowed one unearned run on five hits while walking three and striking out three.

Our View: The Twins needed this one to stay alive, and Baker came to play today. They are still a long shot to get in the postseason, but at least Baker gave them a chance. He will finish the season with 15 wins, and his 4.36 ERA is also a nice number. http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Scott_Baker/559659 559659 Thu, 01 Oct 2009 16:44:01 EDT fanball.com 52 days 8 hours 33 minutes http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Scott_Baker/559659 Minnesota Twins SP Scott Baker allowed four runs on six hits over 6 1/3 innings Saturday, Sept. 26, against the Kansas City Royals, according to The Associated Press. He walked one and struck out five, improving to 14-9 on the season.

Our View: Baker allowed four runs on six hits and a walk over 6.1 innings. He fanned five, but allowed a pair of home runs. The win was his first since September 5th and he's now 14-6 on the year. http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Scott_Baker/550000 550000 Sun, 27 Sep 2009 0:00:03 EDT fanball.com 57 days 1 hours 17 minutes http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Scott_Baker/550000
