Minneapolis pitcher Rafael Escobar did his part in helping his team beat the Kansas City Athletics, 6-3. The right-hander kept opposing batters in check throughout the game. In 7.2 innings, Escobar surrendered 5 hits, while striking out 12 and walking 1. He allowed 3 runs. Johnny Wickwire recorded his 28th save for Minneapolis.

Minneapolis first baseman Ian Sabre contributed a timely at-bat in the bottom of the third. With two down, he hit a fastball into left-center field for a run-scoring single. It was his 148th hit of the season and put the Vikings ahead, 2-1.

"Today was a lot of fun," said Sabre.

Minneapolis has now won 3 straight, while the Athletics have lost 3 in a row.
