Gene Tenace, who hit his 25th homer for a personal season high, made it a big blow by connecting with the bases loaded in the fourth inning to power the Athletics to a 5-1 victory over the Twins. Bert Campaneris doubled, Claudell Washington beat out an infield hit and Sal Bando walked to set the stage for Tenace's third grand slam of the season. His former high in homers was 24 last year.
