Athletics Nip Twins, 3-2
|
Minnesota got a terrific performance from pitcher Danny Ahlers, but it wasn't enough to beat the Oakland Athletics. Oakland won the O.co Coliseum contest, 3-2. Ahlers threw 8.1 innings allowing 3 runs for the losing team. The win belongs to Freddy Hernandez in relief. His record improves to 4-5. Danny Ahlers took the loss for Minnesota. With the win, Oakland has a record of 43-73. Minnesota falls to 62-54.
A defensive lapse proved costly in the contest. With the game tied in the bottom of the ninth, an error by the Twins allowed the Athletics to score the winning run.
Afterward, Athletics manager Jon Pearson was ebullient. "That was a fun game to coach," he told a group of reporters, adding, "I hope it was just as fun to watch."
