Oakland Beats Minnesota, 3-2
In a low-scoring tilt between the Oakland Athletics and the Minnesota Twins, Kendall Graveman, who finished 5th in the AL in ERA with 2.99 last year, was the difference-maker. The Oakland right-hander spearheaded the 3-2 win. Graveman yielded 2 runs over 6 innings to notch the win. He scattered 5 hits, walked 1, and struck out 1. His record improves to 8-12. Jose G. Gonzalez notched his 13th save in 15 chances.

Nick Ciuffo had a direct impact on the outcome. Ciuffo contributed a run-scoring single in the top of the sixth inning to put Oakland up, 3-1.

"Tough loss," said Minnesota manager Robin Ventura. "But that's how the cookie crumbles."

Oakland sits in last place in the American League West Division at 72-81.
