Encarnacion Slugs Twins to 5-2 Win
Edwin Encarnacion was a major contributor to the 5-2 Minnesota win over Oakland. The Twins first baseman hit 2 home runs, while adding 4 RBI and scoring twice. Minnesota starter Keyvius Sampson was credited with the win after throwing 102 pitches over 8 innings. His record now stands at 1-0. The win gives Minnesota a record of 5-4.

The game turned with no one out in the bottom of the fourth when Encarnacion, who finished 3rd in the AL in home runs with 36 in 2013, hit a 2-run home run. It propelled the Twins into the lead, 2-0.

"At the end of the day, it's always about your starting pitcher," said Minnesota skipper Al Wehr.
