Twins Top Athletics, 3-2
Though he had a great game, Matt Juhasz could not single-handedly produce a win for Oakland. Minnesota won the game, 3-2. Juhasz went 3 for 4 with a home run and a double. He drove in 2 runs and scored once. Carlos Mella wrapped it up, recording his 2nd save. The win takes Minnesota to 7-2.

The Athletics had been locked in a 2-2 tie with the Twins going into the bottom of the fourth inning. That changed quickly when the slick-fielding shortstop Brock Carson came to the plate. Carson hit a run-scoring double on a 0-1 cutter from Oakland hurler Matt Ortiz. It was Carson's 3rd double of the year.

"I still think this team has room for improvement," Carson told the Minnesota Herald.
