Twins can't erase Duffey's rocky start vs. A's

Duffey allowed five runs, yielding 10 hits and one walk with six strikeouts across 4 2/3 innings in the loss. A's lefty Eric Surkamp, recalled from Triple-A Nashville for Tuesday's start, also lasted just 4 2/3 innings, surrendering three runs on eight hits, including a pair of RBI doubles to Byung Ho Park and Robbie Grossman, who finished with a career-high three two-baggers.

MOMENTS THAT MATTERED
Vogt counts: Twice, cleanup man Valencia put the A's on top with crucial hits, but Vogt's at-bats that preceded both of them proved equally significant.
