MINNEAPOLIS — Byron Buxton hit his ninth home run of the season and Jose Miranda connected for the first homer of his career, backing another sharp start by rookie Josh Winder and sending the Minnesota Twins over the Oakland Athletics 2-1. Twins reliever Emilio Pagán escaped a bases-loaded, one-out jam in the ninth inning and sent the A's to their seventh straight loss. Making just his second major league start, Winder allowed three hits and one unearned run in six innings while striking out eight and walking none. Last weekend at Tampa Bay, the 25-year-old righty got the win, pitching six shutout innings of two-hit ball, striking out seven with one walk.
