Davis' 2-out, 2-run single in 9th lifts A's over Twins 5-4

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) Khris Davis lined a two-out, two-run single off the glove of diving first baseman Ehire Adrianza in the ninth inning and the Oakland Athletics won again, beating the Minnesota Twins 5-4 Saturday night.

The A's won for the 21st time in 27 games. Miguel Sano, Mitch Garver and Nelson Cruz all homered for the AL Central-leading Twins, who have lost five of six.

Minnesota reliever Taylor Rogers (2-2) retired the first two batters in the ninth. But he then hit Mark Canha with a pitch and gave up a double to Ramon Laureano.
