Athletics 11-8
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) --- Ryan Jeffers went 3 for 5 with three RBIs, Connor Prielipp
threw 5 2/3 innings of one-run ball in his return from the injured list and the
Minnesota Twins beat the Athletics 11-8 on Sunday in the rubber match of a
three-game series.
Kody Clemens was 3 for 5 with two triples and an RBI, and Ryan Kreidler doubled
three times and drove in a run for the Twins.
Prielipp (3-5), who had been sidelined by a blister on his middle finger,
allowed two hits and one walk while striking out five.
Nick Kurtz hit a three-run homer for the Athletics in the sixth. Jeff McNeil
and Carlos Cortes each drove in two runs.
Royce Lewis reached when he grounded into an run-scoring fielder's choice and
stole second base before Clemens hit an RBI triple and scored on a throwing
error by shortstop Alika Williams to give Minnesota a 3-0 lead in the first
inning.
Alex Jackson scored from third after reliever Luis Morales balked with the
bases loaded, and Jeffers followed with a two-run single that made it 6-0 in
the second.
Kreidler doubled leading off the fourth, stole third base and scored on a
throwing error by catcher Jonah Heim to push the lead to 7-0.
Kreidler doubled and stole third base before he scored on a sacrifice fly by
Austin Martin in the sixth to make it 8-3.
Athletics starter Jeffrey Springs left the game in the second due to an
apparent injury and was replaced by Morales. Springs (3-10) allowed five runs,
four earned, in 1 1/3 innings.
Athletics hitting coach Chris Cron was ejected by plate umpire Chad Fairchild
in the second.
