Game Notes
Twins get a disappointing 4-2 win over the A's.
Minnesota completes the sweep, but misses out on a potential no-hitter when Kevin Slowey is lifted after 7 innings and no hits allowed due to pitch count. The bullpen then gives up the no-hitter and shutout before stopping Oakland's rally.
The Twins lead 1-0 on a ground rule double by Jason Kubel before Jim Thome's 3-run blast in the bottom of the 7th. With the cushion, the game is turned over to the bullpen by Jon Rauch gives up a double to Cliff Pennington with 1 out in the 8th.
Starting pitchers:
A's - Vin Mazzaro
Twins - Slowey
Winning pitcher: Slowey (11-5)
Losing pitcher: Mazzaro (6-5)
