After a nearly three-hour rain delay, the A’s jumped out to a 1-0 lead. But the Twins scored seven straight and went on to win 11-4 Tuesday.

The A’s dangled in that odd state of limbo Sunday, trying to see the good of taking three of four on the road, but processing a defeat that never should have happened.

OAKLAND – Just one week ago the A’s were the epitome of on-field dysfunction, unable to get all components of their game working together. Fast forward to Wednesday, when the A’s turned in an excellent all-around game to record their first home sweep of three or more games in nearly two years.
