FORT MYERS, Fla. (AP) -- Scott Baker gave up a grand slam to Ben Zobrist and a two-run shot to Elliot Johnson in his return from an injury, and the Minnesota Twins lost to the Tampa Bay Rays 10-4 Monday.

Zobrist went 3 for 3 to spark the Rays' 14-hit attack after the team came into the game with a .222 batting average in spring training.
Jeff Niemann, competing for the fifth spot in the Rays' rotation, gave up two runs on six hits through five innings, striking out five.
Backup catcher Ryan Doumit, who played in the outfield, hit his first home run for the Twins since being acquired in the offseason from the Pirates.
