 The Twins have been in first place in the AL Central for 85 days this season -- only the Dodgers (90 days) have spent more time leading their division in 2019. The last season in which Minnesota spent more days leading the AL Central was in 2010 (141 days).

 The Athletics have won three straight games, and 10 of their last 13 games overall. Over this stretch of 13 games, Oakland has out-homered its opponents, 24-9.

 The Athletics won the season series against the Twins last year, winning five of the seven matchups. Since 2018, Oakland is 34-9 (.791) against teams from the AL Central, the best record by any team against a division from the same league over that time.

 Entering July, Jake Odorizzi is 10-3 with a 2.73 ERA in 16 starts. Since playing their first season in Minnesota in 1961, only three other Twins pitchers have had 10+ wins and a sub-3.00 ERA entering July: Scott Erickson in 1991, Frank Viola in 1988 and Bert Blyleven in 1973.

 Max Kepler (21) and Eddie Rosario (20) are the first pair of Twins teammates with 20+ home runs before the All-Star break in the same year since 1964, when Harmon Killebrew (30) and Bob Allison (21) did so.

 Matt Chapman drove in a career-high six runs in his last game, while also recording a double, a triple and a home run. Since RBI became official in 1920, the only other A's with a game with a double, a triple, a home run and 6+ RBI are Davey Lopes on June 15, 1983 and Jimmie Foxx on August 14, 1933.

HP - Everitt, 1B - Ortiz, 2B - Barrett, 3B - Marquez

All-Star right-hander Jake Odorizzi goes after a career-high-tying 11th win Tuesday night when the visiting Minnesota Twins attempt to cool down the hot Oakland Athletics in the opener of a three-game series.
The Twins (53-30) will take the field Tuesday with the far greater record, but it's the A's (46-39) who are in the better form as they seek to improve on a three-game winning streak in the first meeting of the season between the clubs.

Odorizzi vies for 11th win as Twins face A's

OAKLAND, Calif. (AP)  Chris Herrmann's career in Oakland got off to a rough start with a knee injury that required surgery in spring training. When he finally made it back to the big leagues, he sure made the most of his debut.
Herrmann became the first player to hit a grand slam in his first game for Oakland and the A's went on to beat the Minnesota Twins 8-6 on Tuesday night for their fourth straight victory.
