Elsewhere around town, several restaurants are offering specials as the O’s take on the Minnesota Twins.

RA Sushi will again be serving its O’s roll, pictured—an eight-piece lobster and cucumber rll topped with fresh salmon and avocado and drizzle with an orange spicy mayo sauce. It will be available during the 2013 baseball season, and diners will receive $2 off the roll ($11.25) if they bring in their ticket stub on the day of the game.

Rusty Scupper will celebrate the start of Orioles home games with food and drink specials in the restaurant’s bar and lounge from 11:30 a.m.-7 p.m. on Friday. Menu items ($4 each) include: crab-and-artichoke dip, popcorn fried shrimp, Black Angus burger, and pepper-Parmesan calamari. Game day parking validation is $11. Fans who are going to the game and dining at the restaurant can take the restaurant’s shuttle to and from the game at no additional cost.

Wit & Wisdom is offering a “burger and a Boh” special for $20.13 all day Friday in the restaurant’s lounge and bar at the Four Seasons Hotel Baltimore.

LAMILL Coffee at the Four Seasons is running a Twitter deal for followers. They’ll be tweeting a secret code @LAMILLcafebmore for 20 percent off a purchase.

And if you’re preparing a home meal,
