Twins Stay Hot, Beat Athletics, 4-3
Fans saw a dandy of a game between the Minnesota Twins and Oakland Athletics.

The Oakland Athletics got a superb performance from left fielder Mike Tauchman, but the Minnesota Twins still won the game, 4-3. Tauchman went 1 for 2 with a double and 3 walks, while adding 2 RBI. The Athletics drop to 4-6 and continue their inconsistent start to the 2020 season.

Minnesota first baseman Edwin Encarnacion contributed a timely at-bat in the bottom of the sixth. With two down, he hit a changeup into center field for a 2-run single. It was his 11th hit of the season and put the Twins ahead, 3-1.

"If we keep winning the close games," Encarnacion said, "we'll be in good shape at the end."
