Minnesota Stopped, 2-0, by Oakland
In a low-scoring contest between the Oakland Athletics and the Minnesota Twins, Jeferson Mejia was the X factor. The Oakland right-hander spearheaded the 2-0 win. Mejia, now 2-2, was the winner. In 7.1 innings, he gave up 5 hits, while striking out 5, walking 0, and allowing no runs. Gabriel Ynoa got the save, his 15th in 17 chances.

Who knows how it might've ended, had it not been for Tim Graves? The Oakland left fielder had a 2-run single in the top of the first inning to put the Athletics on top, 2-0. For the game, Graves had 1 double and 1 single in 2 at-bats.

"We put together a nice win," Mejia said.

The Athletics now have a record of 59-70 with the win over Minnesota.
