For the Twins, Miguel Sano broke out of a 3-for-20 slump in the fifth with a two-run homer to right field off A's starter Chris Smith to make it 4-1. His 24th homer was the highlight of a rough week for Sano, who was hit on the hand Monday and didn't start the next two days before returning to the lineup Friday.
After Ryon Healy's RBI double in the first gave the A's a lead, Twins center fielder Zack Granite punched a two-run single to center in the second, extending his hitting streak to nine games.
