After scoring eight runs in its previous four games, Minnesota snapped a three-game slide with a 10-5 victory Tuesday while ending Oakland's season-high seven-game winning streak.

Dallas Braden, who in his third major-league season is the veteran of the Athletics’ talented rotation, looks to help Oakland bounce back. Braden is 2-0 with a 3.00 ERA in his last four starts since dropping three straight decisions.

The lefthander is 0-1 with a 3.09 ERA in two starts against the Twins

The Twins will counter with Francisco Liriano, who is looking to avoid a fourth straight losing decision.

The lefthander is 1-2 with a 6.38 ERA in five starts versus the A's, but 1-0 with a 0.75 ERA in his last two. Be sure to get your MLB betting in the Bodog Sportsbook.
