Mears Leads Twins to 7-0 Win Over Athletics
Joshua Mears led Minnesota to a win over Oakland. The final score was 7-0. Mears collected 2 runs batted in, while going 4 for 4 at the plate. The left fielder also scored 2 times. Simeon Woods Richardson, who went 6 innings, was the winning pitcher. He was charged with no runs on 3 hits, while walking 1 and striking out 6. His record now stands at 9-3. The save went to Jovani Moran, his 3rd this season.

Minnesota took a 2-0 lead on Royce Lewis's 22nd double of the season. The run-scoring double, which Lewis hit in the bottom of the seventh, left Oakland pitcher Kirby Snead visibly frustrated.

Mears attributed the win to "energy and focus on the part of everyone."

The first-place Twins go to 40-31.
