Alex Kirilloff capped a four-RBI day out of the No. 9 slot in the order with a bases-clearing double in the seventh inning, allowing the visiting Minnesota Twins to overtake the Oakland Athletics en route to a 5-4 victory Sunday afternoon and a three-game series sweep.
Attempting to snap his team's six-game losing streak, A's left-hander JP Sears had limited the American League Central leaders to two runs on three hits before Max Kepler ended his day with a one-out single in the seventh.
Oakland got within 5-4 on a two-out double by Zack Gelof in the last of the seventh. But Emilio Pagan came on to strike out JJ Bleday to end the inning before throwing a 1-2-3 eighth. The A's scored the game's first three runs, one in the second on Jordan Diaz's sixth home run of the season, and two in the fourth on a sacrifice fly by Diaz and an RBI double by Aledmys Diaz.
Vazquez finished with two hits and scored twice for the Twins, who recorded a 5-4 win in the first game of the series before hanging on for a 10-7 victory on Saturday.
