Joey Gallo hit a two-run, tiebreaking home run in the top of the ninth inning Friday night, delivering the visiting Minnesota Twins a 5-4 victory over the Oakland Athletics in the opener of a three-game series.
Gallo, who connected for his 16th of the season, went deep off the Athletics' seventh pitcher, Shintaro Fujinami , two batters after Donovan Solano led off the ninth with a double.Oakland rallied within 5-4 in the last of the ninth on a two-out, RBI single by JJ Bleday. However, with the potential tying run at second and the potential winning run at first, Twins closer Jhoan Duran got Seth Brown to ground out to second, nailing down his 13th save.
Minnesota scored twice in the first off A's starter Ken Waldichuk on a Byron Buxton sacrifice fly and Kyle Farmer RBI triple, then again in the fourth to tie the game at 3-3 on an RBI double by Edouard Julien. The hit for Gelof, which came within inches of clearing the right field fence, was the first of his big-league career in the second at-bat of his major league debut.
