The Oakland A’s finally scored some runs!
Mired in a long teamwide slump, the A’s put together five runs on Tuesday, beating the Minnesota Twins by a 5-2 margin at the Coliseum.
Oakland is one of the lowest-scoring teams in the majors this year, and over their past two dozen games they were averaging a mere 2.4 runs per contest, including five shutouts. Each of the last three days they were limited to one run apiece, including last night in the series opener against the Twins.
Tonight was a different story. The A’s hit a homer, with somebody on base, and they later strung together another extended rally.
