Jon Rauch then worked around a two-out single by Kurt Suzuki in the bottom of the frame for his 14th save of the season.

The Twins jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the first as Mauer punched a two-out single and Morneau followed with his 13th home run of the season, a shot over the wall in right.

Oakland got one back in the fourth as Daric Barton doubled to start the inning and later came home on a Suzuki single to make it a 2-1 game.
