Athletics drop ninth straight, swept by Twins

Gave them a run for their money in game two though

The Athletics lost both sides of the doubleheader tonight, falling in the evening 8-7 in a high-scoring affair that secured Oakland’s ninth straight loss.

It was a wild one early here in game two of the doubleheader. With righty rookie Joey Estes on the mound for his 7th start with the A’s, the Twins scored quickly, collecting five runs in the first two innings. It was not the best of starts from Estes.
