Athletics Roll Over Twins, 9-1
The Oakland Athletics picked up a win at Target Field, knocking off the Minnesota Twins, 9-1. Starting pitcher Melvin Medellin was a big reason why. The Twins, at 13-31, have lost 4 straight games.

Who knows how it might've ended, had it not been for Randy Shrewsbury? The Oakland second baseman had a run-scoring single in the top of the fourth inning to put the Athletics on top, 3-1. For the game, Shrewsbury had 1 double and 1 single in 5 at-bats.

"Getting ahead of the hitters was the key," said Medellin.
