Oakland got homers inside and outside the park to lead off the game and went on to a 6-to-3 win over Minnesota. The A's
take a two-games-to-one lead in the American League Division Series.
Ray Durham led off the game by skipping a hit past centerfielder Tori Hunter and circling the bases for an inside-the-park home run.
[SUPER=35-Oakland/6/Minnesota/3;]Stunned Twins starter Rick Reed then gave up a over-the-fence homer to right to Scott
Hatteberg. Despite several A's miscues, like this drop on a routine pop up and pitcher barry Zito's losing the grip on the pitch, A's still win it by 3.
