Final Thoughts:
A's outlast Twins in a hot and humid day at Target Field. Marcus Semien sets the tone of the game, with a lead-off home run. Twins took the lead, in the Bottom of 3rd, with a 2-run shot by Marwin Gonzalez. A Matt Olson RBI-Single ties the game, in the Top of 5th Inning. And a 2-run A's 6th Inning, was the difference in tonight's game. 

Now here's how both teams stand in the American League Standings:

Oakland Athletics:
Record: 56-42
Divisional Position: 2nd in A.L. West. 5.5 GB of Houston Astros
Wild Card Position: 2nd A.L. Wild Card, 1 game ahead of Tampa Bay Rays.

Minnesota Twins:
Record: 59-37
Divisional Position: 1st in A.L. Central

Tomorrow Night it is Brett Anderson for the A's and Jose Berrios for the Twins.
