Suzuki Helps Oakland Cruise to 12-2 Win
The Oakland Athletics met little resistance from the Minnesota Twins, beating them 12-2 at Oakland Coliseum. Kurt Suzuki led the way. He went 4-4 with a home run, a double, and 2 singles, while scoring 2 times and driving in 6 for Oakland. The Twins have now dropped 5 straight.

With Oakland leading 9-1 in the bottom of the sixth, Suzuki came up to bat against Minnesota pitcher Glenn Sparkman. Suzuki hit a curveball to left for a 3-run home run. His 6th home run of the season put the Athletics on top, 12-1.

"Everyone's trying too hard," said losing manager Al Wehr. "If we learn to relax, we'll be fine."
