Cruz Helps Twins Defeat Athletics, 14-9
A 3-RBI performance from shortstop Oneil Cruz, who is tied for 5th in the AL with a .549 slugging percentage, led the Minnesota Twins to a win over the Oakland Athletics, 14-9. After today's action, Minnesota sits at 80-67, while Oakland falls to 81-65.

Minnesota needed the clutch hitting of Triston Casas to seal the deal. The first baseman swatted a grand slam home run in the top of the seventh inning to put the Twins on top, 10-6. For the game, Casas had 1 home run and 2 singles in 5 at-bats.

"If you were looking for a pitchers' duel," said Casas, "this wasn't it."
