Now down 5-1, Brooks Lee smacked a homer to right center, a solo shot for his 13th round tripper of the year. In the 5th, Pierson Ohl took over for Ryan and tossed a scoreless inning, and stayed in the game until the 9th. Then in the bottom of that inning, Ryan Jeffers lined a solo homer to left, his 9th of the year.

The A’s built a big lead with a three-run fourth inning, and the Twins couldn’t rally despite home runs from Brooks Lee and Ryan Jeffers.

Shea Langeliers hit his 27th home run, Tyler Soderstrom extended his hitting streak to 17 games and the Athletics beat the Minnesota Twins 6-3 on Tuesday night.

The next batter reached when first baseman Kody Clemens dropped a throw from Royce Lewis. He was charged with an error.

The A’s are sixth in MLB in home runs, led by rookie Nick Kurtz, Shea Langeliers and former Twin Brent Rooker.
