A single by Matt Alexander through a drawn-in infield scored Mitchell Page with one out in the 11th inning and gave the Athletics an 8-7 victory over the Twins. After the A's overcame a 5-0 deficit to tie the score at 6-6 in the fifth, Butch Wynegar hit a homer for the Twins in the 10th, but the A's came back with the tying tally on singles by Rodney Scott and Manny Sanguillen around a sacrifice by Marty Perez.
