Twins Get Road Win, 10-1
The Minnesota Twins beat the Oakland Athletics, 10-1, at Oakland Coliseum. The win was largely due to the efforts of third baseman Maikel Franco, who captured player of the game honors. He was 2 for 5 with 2 doubles. He scored 2 runs and drove in 4. Minnesota bumps their record to 71-83 with the win.

Chris Iannetta chipped in for Minnesota with a 2-run home run in the top of the fourth. For the game, the catcher had 2 hits in 4 at-bats with 1 home run, 1 single, 1 run scored, and 2 runs batted in.

In postgame comments, Franco told the Minnesota Bulletin: "Do people still doubt I give 100 percent?"
