GAME PREVIEW
A's hope to stay hot against TwinsFLMThe Oakland Athletics are riding homers as they open a four-game road series against the Minnesota Twins on Thursday.The recent numbers for manager Bob Melvin's A's have been impressive -- six consecutive victories, winners of 12 of 14 and a sizzling 19-5 in their last 24 games.The club arrives in Minneapolis having swept their six-game homestand and are a season-high 14 games over .500.Home runs have been key.Oakland owns a 17-game home-run streak, bashing 37 along the way, including six on Wednesday in a 10-2 win over the Seattle Mariners.The team set a record along the way, scoring 10 runs and having all of them plated via the long ball."It's what we do," Melvin said. "When we're playing well, we hit homers, put pressure on you." Melvin added that All-Star third baseman Matt Chapman (ankle soreness) is day-to-day after being pulled from Wednesday's game.Starting pitcher Homer Bailey worked through a slow start but earned the victory in his Oakland debut.Mike Fiers (9-3, 3.61) will take the mound in Minneapolis in the 8:10 p.m. ET start at Target Field on Thursday.Fiers' 2.31 ERA ranks as the second best among American League starters since April 26, and in 12 career appearances (11 starts), the 34-year-old Florida native is 6-1 with a stellar 2.66 ERA.Fiers was in line for the win but earned a no-decision in his lone start against Minnesota this season -- a 4-3 loss in 12 innings in Oakland on July 3.He turned in a quality start in the middle game of the teams' three-game series, allowing five hits and two runs (one earned) in six innings, but the visitors rallied from a 3-0 hole to claim the victory.Minnesota manager Rocco Baldelli will be looking for his club to clean up its act in the field.The Twins committed two critical errors in Wednesday's 14-4 blowout loss to the New York Mets.Third baseman Miguel Sano's throwing error in the fourth inning led to an unearned run, and left fielder Eddie Rosario dropped a fly ball that would have been the third out in an eventual six-run frame for the Mets.In all, half of the 14 runs by New York were unearned."The fact that we haven't seen many games like that is a good sign," Baldelli said following the club's first three-game losing skid. "There are always going to be a handful of games like that over the course of the year." The Twins will send out Kyle Gibson (8-4, 4.03), who said he felt fine mechanically in his last outing on Friday against Cleveland, though the results didn't show it as he failed to get out of the fourth inning.A 2009 first-round pick by the Twins, Gibson started opposite Fiers in that July 3 contest and left after six innings of work after also posting a quality start.The right-hander allowed five hits and all three runs (two earned) while striking out five and walking four.In his career, the 31-year-old Gibson has faced Oakland five times -- all starts -- and is 2-2 with a 3.81 ERA.--Field Level Media

GAME RECAP
Rosario's pinch-hit 3-run HR lifts Twins in 6-3 win vs. A'sMINNEOLIS Pinch-hitter Eddie Rosario drove a go-ahead, three-run homer on the first pitch from reliever Yusmeiro Petit in the seventh inning and the Minnesota Twins beat the Oakland Athletics 6-3 Thursday night.With one powerful swing , Rosario produced the first pinch-hit homer of the year for the Twins and helped snap their season-high three-game losing streak. Mitch Garver and C. J. Cron each went deep in the eighth to pad the lead, and Taylor Rogers held the A's down for two innings to record his 14th save in 17 tries.Despite seven strong innings by starter Kyle Gibson (9-4), the Twins trailed 3-1 entering the seventh against Mike Fiers. Luis Arraez, the rookie second baseman who has provided an unexpected midsummer spark, doubled with one out before Miguel Sano drew a walk.Fiers was pulled for Petit (2-2), the most-used pitcher in the major leagues with 49 appearances, and Rosario crushed the right-hander's 90 mph fastball off the videoboard facade beneath the second deck in right-center while admiring the trajectory before his trot around the bases. That was his 21st home run, his first since June 23 due to a stint on the injured list for a sprained left ankle, and he obliged the Target Field crowd of 28,432 with a curtain call.With Cleveland on a five-game winning streak to whittle the AL Central lead to four games, the smallest since May 19, the Twins badly needed this jolt from Rosario, who was held out of the original lineup along with All-Star shortstop Jorge Polanco for pre-planned rest. Center fielder Byron Buxton has also been notably absent this week because of concussion-like symptoms.The surging A's arrived as a formidable opponent for this four-game series, and Jurickson Profar hit a two-run home run in sixth inning off Gibson to give them the edge after an RBI double by Khris Davis tied the game at 1 in the fourth.LOOK OUT!With the first-pitch temperature at 87 degrees on an extra-muggy night, home plate umpire Quinn Wolcott was hit with a double whammy when Cron's foul ball banged off his mask. He was removed from the game, with Bruce Dreckman moving from second base to fill in after a delay of about 10 minutes. After the unexpected break, Fiers finished the inning with one pitch by completing his strikeout of Cron.BULLPEN SHUFFLEFor the second time this week, the Twins dropped a reliever from the roster, this time designating right-hander for assignment Matt Magill, who gave up six unearned runs in one inning Wednesday. Right-hander Kohl Stewart was recalled from Triple-A to take his place, creating a fourth opening on the 40-man roster for potential trades in the next two weeks before the deadline.TRAINER'S ROOMAthletics: All-Star 3B Matt Chapman was on the bench with a sore left ankle, after being removed from the previous game after two innings.Twins: Buxton participated in pregame baseball activities on the field and, according to manager Rocco Baldelli, was ''energy-wise doing very well.'' He's eligible to return on Monday, but Baldelli declined to speculate about whether he would be immediately reinstated.UP NEXTAthletics: RHP Chris Bassitt (6-4, 3.98 ERA), who threw six shutout innings last week in a win against Chicago, takes the mound on Friday night.Twins: All-Star RHP Jake Odorizzi (11-4, 3.06 ERA), who is 6-0 with a 2.28 ERA in six starts at home this season, pitches the second game of the series.---More baseball coverage: https://apnews.com/MLB and https://twitter.com/-Sports
