The A’s started their two-city road trip with a victory over their AL Central rivals, beating the free-falling Minnesota Twins by a final of 6-3 that saw the A’s take the lead and never look back.

The A’s built a big lead with a three-run fourth inning, and the Twins couldn’t rally despite home runs from Brooks Lee and Ryan Jeffers.

The Twins kept the pressure on with aggressive baserunning from their younger players, but an inability to come up with hits with runners in scoring position continues to plague the team.

Finally, 10 innings in, the fact that the Twins were unable to get a hit at the right moment caught up to them. Shea Langeliers hit a two-run home run off reliever Génesis Cabrera in the 10th inning on Wednesday night, helping lift the Athletics to a 4-2 ...

The A’s are sixth in MLB in home runs, led by rookie Nick Kurtz, Shea Langeliers and former Twin Brent Rooker.

Shea Langeliers hit his 27th home run, Tyler Soderstrom extended his hitting streak to 17 games and the Athletics beat the Minnesota Twins 6-3 on Tuesday night.
