Matt Wallner hit a grand slam in a five-run first inning, Alex Kirilloff added a two-run homer and the Minnesota Twins beat the Oakland Athletics 11-3 on a cold and drizzly night Tuesday night.
Brock Stewart also made his return to the mound for Minnesota after missing 77 games with right elbow soreness.
Stewart, who became an important piece of the bullpen in the middle of the summer, allowed one hit in a scoreless ninth. He said he dealt with a pronator strain and some nerve issues but is better and is hopeful to be back in the bullpen for the postseason. Blackburn had thrown eight straight pitches out of the strike zone at one point. Wallner followed by sending a 3-1 pitch for the Twins’ seventh grand slam of the season.TRAINER’S ROOM
