Athletics Get Road Win, 4-1
The Oakland Athletics went home winners at Target Field, thanks in large part to starter Zach Eflin. Eflin silenced the Minnesota Twins, enabling Oakland to grab the 4-1 win. The winning pitcher was Eflin, now 7-5. He tossed 6 innings of 3-hit ball, while walking 3 and fanning 4. Sean Doolittle converted his 18th save in 20 tries.

Oakland used a timely hit from Mark Canha to get the win. The right fielder delivered a 2-run triple in the top of the second inning to put the Athletics on top, 3-0. It was his only hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a game-changer.

"Feels good to get the job done," Canha said after the game.

The Athletics move to 46-55 with the win, while the Twins drop to 41-56.
