Seth Brown hit a tiebreaking double in the seventh inning, Sean Murphy followed with a two-run single and the Oakland A's ended their four-game losing streak against the Twins, beating Minnesota 5-2 on Tuesday night.
The win prevented the Twins from securing their first series win in Oakland since 2011. Minnesota had won all four previous games between the two this season.
Zach Jackson retired four batters for his first career win. Dany Jiménez got a pair of fly outs to end the eighth with two on, then worked a 1-2-3 ninth for his seventh save. “As well as he’s been throwing the ball I felt good about bringing him in to finish out the eighth and sending him back out,” Kotsay said. “He’s a workhorse.”Minnesota cut the lead in half on Royce’s leadoff drive off James Kaprielian in the fifth then tied it on Sánchez’s third home run in five games in the sixth.The decision to send Lewis down was a tough one for Baldelii.
“That young man is not going to stop working,” Baldelli said. “He’s not going to be any less motivated. I don’t see him changing one bit. He’ll be ready for us when we need him next time around.”Twins starter Dylan Bundy came off the COVID-19 list before the game and threw 54 pitches in three innings. Bundy had two walks and three strikeouts, including a 10-pitch whiff of Smith who went down looking after fouling off four consecutive pitches.
“I felt great but mechanically it was a little bit off,” Bundy said. “Everything was kind of up. but I was happy with it.”The Twins’ RHP Jharel Cotton was designated for assignment to make room for Bundy on the 26-man roster. Cotton spent his first two seasons in the major leagues with the A’s, then played for the Rangers one year before signing with Minnesota as a free agent.Twins: Correa has missed the past 10 games because of a right middle finger contusion.
