Athletics: The A’s extended their winning streak to 11 on Wednesday, rallying from a two-run deficit to beat the visiting Twins 13-12 when Luis Arraez threw away Ramón Laureano’s grounder for the Twins’ second error of the 10th inning. Nelson Cruz had two HRs and four RBIs for the Twins, and Byron Buxton hit a two-run HR against Lou Trivino for a 12-10 lead in the 10th. Alex Colomé (1-2) got the first two outs in the bottom half with the automatic runner on second, then walked Seth Brown and Elvis Andrus, loading the bases. Mark Canha hit what should have been a game-ending grounder to 2B Travis Blankehorn, who entered as a pinch runner for Josh Donaldson in the 10th, but Blankenhorn allowed the ball to bounce off his glove for a run-scoring error. Laureano hit a one-hopper to Arraez for what again should have been the final out. Arraez, who had moved to third from second to third for the 10th, sailed his throw over 1B Willians Astudillo as the tying and winning runs scored.

Rockies: Austin Gomber got his first victory for the Rockies, allowing two hits over six innings to beat the Astros 6-3 on a wintry Wednesday afternoon in Denver and send the Astros to their ninth loss in 10 games.

Brewers, Padres: Omar Narvaez hit a two-run HR and Jace Peterson added a solo shot to help the Brewers beat the Padres 4-2 and complete a three-game sweep.
