MINNEAPOLIS -- Eddie Rosario helped jump-start the offense with a homer on the first pitch he saw in his Major League career, while Kyle Gibson tossed six scoreless innings to lead the Twins to a 13-0 win over the A's on Wednesday night at Target Field.
Rosario, called up two days ago from Triple-A Rochester, led off the third with a blast to the opposite field on a first-pitch fastball from A's starter Scott Kazmir. It helped spark a four-run third inning for the Twins. Eduardo Escobar later connected on a two-run homer in the sixth before the Twins broke the game open with a four-run seventh against reliever Chad Smith.
