Athletics Drop 7-3 Decision to Twins
Jon Lester had a strong outing for the Minnesota Twins against the Oakland Athletics at Target Field. The left-hander was a big part of his team's 7-3 win. Minnesota has 3 straight wins, Oakland 3 straight losses.

Juan Olivas went 1-3 with a walk, while adding 2 RBI for Minnesota. The slick-fielding third baseman had a key at-bat in the bottom of the fifth. With no one out and the bases loaded, he broke a 1-1 tie with a run-scoring walk off Roy Halladay. It was his 18th walk of the season.

"Jon made some big pitches when he needed to," said Twins manager Steve Shields.
