Athletics Get Hard-Earned Win, Stop Twins, 5-4
The Minnesota Twins got a superb performance from pitcher Garrett Richards, but the Oakland Athletics still won the game, 5-4. Richards threw 6.0 innings allowing 2 runs. Rafael Soriano earned the save for Oakland, his 12th of the year. The Athletics now have a mark of 29-36.

Oakland took a 5-4 lead on Emilio Bonifacio's 3rd triple of the season. The 2-run triple, which Bonifacio hit in the bottom of the eighth, left Minnesota pitcher Cory Rasmus shaking his head.

"We did enough to win," said Bonifacio.
