The A's were held hitless through four innings until Tommy White doubled with one out in the fifth. A walk on either side of White's double loaded the bases, and Butler hit a sacrifice fly to center to bring Donovan Walton in and open the scoring.

White nearly scored on a wild pitch to double the lead, but was tagged out by pitcher Zebby Matthews at home for the third out.

Soderstrom drove in Henry Bolte from second with a sixth-inning single that made it 2-0.

Matthews (4-8) allowed both runs on three hits in six innings. He walked three and struck out one. Austin Martin doubled and Ryan Jeffers singled for the Twins' only hits of the game.
