Big Day for Ruiz as Athletics Down Twins, 7-3
In the 7-3 Oakland win over Minnesota, the impact of Ken Ruiz was substantial. Ruiz, who finished 5th in the AL in batting average with .316 in 2037, went 3 for 4 with a home run and 2 singles, while scoring 3 runs and driving in 2. Jake Avalos, the winner, goes to 3-5. He allowed 1 run on 4 hits, with 4 walks and 4 strikeouts over 5 innings. Oakland is now 64-73, while Minnesota is 49-88.

Ruiz made an early impact for Oakland when he stroked his 19th home run of the season. The 2-run home run, which came in the bottom of the third, put the Athletics on top, 4-1.

"You can't get too high when things go well, or too low when things go bad. Right now, I'm just happy we got the win," Ruiz told the Oakland Bulletin.
