Oakland Athletics starter Shintaro Fujinami pitched his team past the Minnesota Twins, 4-2. Fujinami picked up the win for Oakland, going 6 innings. He gave up no runs on 6 hits. He now sports a record of 11-5. At 62-70, the Athletics are currently 11th in the American Division.

Oakland used a well-timed hit by Esteury Ruiz to capture the win. The center fielder socked a 2-run double in the top of the fifth inning to put the Athletics ahead, 3-0. Though it was his only hit in 5 at-bats, it was important.

"It was just a matter of executing," said Oakland manager Mark Kotsay.
