Game Notes

Twins rally to take the home opener from the A's with a 2-1 win.

After Brian Anderson shuts down Minnesota through 7 innings, the Twins finally get to the Oakland lefthander in the 8th as Denard Span and Joe Mauer back up run-scoring singles. Anderson goes the distance allowing 8 hits and no walks in 8 innings.

The A's clung to a 1-0 lead built on David DeJesus' 1st inning Sac Fly. However, Carl Pavano matches Anderson the rest of the way, allowing just 4 hits and 1 walk in 8 innings.
