The Minnesota Twins and Oakland Athletics provided some drama for the home crowd.

Erubiel Durazo was instrumental in his team's 7-6 triumph over the Minnesota Twins. The first baseman was 1-2 with a home run and 2 walks. He scored 2 runs and drove in 2 for the Oakland Athletics. Jason Hammel got the win, improving to 2-3. He held the Twins to 3 runs on 5 hits over 6.1 innings, while striking out 8 and walking 2.

In the bottom of the third, Durazo had a 2-run home run for Oakland. It was his 6th home run of the season and put the Athletics on top, 3-1.

"We'll pop the top on a cold beverage and get back to work tomorrow," Durazo said.

Minnesota drops to 14-11.
