The Minnesota Twins secured a 6-2 victory over the Oakland Athletics, marking the Athletics’ sixth consecutive loss. Carlos Correa had an impressive performance, going 3-for-4 with a home run and three RBIs. Byron Buxton also contributed with a 3-for-3 performance and two RBIs. Tyler Soderstrom hit a two-run homer for the Athletics, their only extra-base hit of the game.
The Twins’ right-hander Joe Ryan pitched a solid game, allowing two runs on three hits in seven innings. He was supported by relievers Griffin Jax and Jorge Alcala, who each pitched a scoreless inning. On the other side, Athletics’ right-hander Luis Medina struggled, giving up four runs on eight hits in five innings.
The game started with the Athletics taking a 2-0 lead in the second inning, but the Twins quickly responded, tying the game at 2-2 in the bottom of the second. Correa’s RBI single in the third inning gave the Twins the lead, which they extended to 4-2 in the fourth inning with Austin Martin’s RBI groundout. Correa sealed the victory with a two-run homer in the seventh inning.
Martin, who was recently promoted from Triple-A, made an impact by driving in a run for the Twins. The Twins’ victory was a significant one, especially after the recent struggles of Alex Kirilloff, who was demoted to Triple-A.
Looking ahead, the Oakland Athletics have a tough schedule coming up, facing the Kansas City Royals, Los Angeles Angels, and Arizona Diamondbacks in the following weeks.
