Gary Sanchez homered, Royce Lewis scored twice and the Minnesota Twins beat the Oakland Athletics 3-1 on Monday night.

The Twins followed up a sweep at home against the A’s with a victory in the opener of this series for their first four-game winning streak in a single season against Oakland since 2007. Minnesota has scored just 10 runs in the four games but has held Oakland to only five.

“They’ve been playing us very tough,” Twins manager Rocco Baldelli said. “All these tight ballgames, there’s no room to breathe in any of these games and they’ve been pitching very well against us all the way so far this year. … You’ve got to play nine good innings against them the way they’ve been playing against us.”
