Oakland Athletics vs Minnesota Twins
1:10 PM ET, September 18, 2010
Target Field, Minneapolis, Minnesota
The Minnesota Twins suffered a letdown in their series opener against the Oakland Athletics, but it's been more than three weeks since the club has lost consecutive games.
The Twins will try to keep that run going Saturday behind Kevin Slowey, who will face the Athletics for the first time since coming within six outs of a no-hitter against them last month.
Coming off a sweep of Chicago that all but gave it the AL Central title, Minnesota (88-59) managed five hits in a 3-1 loss to Oakland on Friday. The loss was just the Twins' fourth in 26 home games.
"It was nice to beat a team that was obviously the best team in baseball since the break," A's manager Bob Geren said of Minnesota, a major league-best 42-17 since the All-Star game.
