Kyle Farmer spoiled Freddy Tarnok's season debut with a tiebreaking home run in the seventh inning and the visiting Minnesota Twins, after blowing a 6-0 lead, held on to beat the Oakland Athletics 10-7 on Saturday afternoon.
Michael A. Taylor also homered for the Twins, who went into the All-Star break on a three-game losing streak but have emerged from it with back-to-back narrow victories over the A's.
Minnesota tacked on single runs in the eighth, when Byron Buxton worked Tarnok for a 10-pitch, bases-loaded walk, and ninth, when Willi Castro tripled and raced home on a squeeze bunt by Ryan Jeffers. But Oliver Ortega got All-Star Brent Rooker to fly out to right field to end the threat, before Jhoan Duran worked a 1-2-3 ninth, striking out two, for his 14th save.Tarnok, who was charged with two runs in 2 2/3 innings, took the loss in just his second big-league appearance.
