Twins Use Late-Game Magic to Beat Athletics, 3-1
Minnesota picked up a win at O.co Coliseum, toppling the Oakland Athletics, 3-1. Pitcher Michael Colin was one of the reasons the Twins triumphed. In 9 innings, Colin surrendered 6 hits, while striking out 4 and walking 1. He allowed 1 run. The win puts Minnesota at 17-27.

Minnesota used a timely hit from Joel Kunkler to get the win. The right fielder stroked a run-scoring double in the top of the eighth inning to put the Twins ahead, 2-1. It was his only hit in 4 at-bats, but it made an impact.

"We need to string a few more wins like this one together," said Kunkler.
