The 7-4 Minnesota win over Oakland was due in large part to Willson Contreras. The Twins catcher went 3-4 with a home run and 2 doubles, while scoring 2 and driving in 2. Justin Miller, credited with the win in relief, is now 2-0. He allowed no runs on 1 hit in 2.2 innings. The victory gives Minnesota a record of 40-32.

Christian Encarnacion-Strand cracked a home run off Kohl Simas in the bottom of the third. His 2-run blast put the Twins on top, 4-3. In all, Encarnacion-Strand had 1 single in addition to the home run, while going 2 for 3.

"I'm just trying to make good contact," said Encarnacion-Strand, "one at-bat at a time."
