World Series: Game 1
Twins 6, A's 3
3-run rally puts it away in the sixth
Three hits and an error helped the Twins put up three runs in the top of the sixth, snapping a 3-3 tie and giving the Twins a 1-0 advantage in the series with a 6-3 win over the A's.  This was truly a back and forth affair before the Twins slammed the door.  The Twins went up 2-0 in the top of the second on back-to-back solo homers by Edgar and Kmart. The A's tied it after 3 when Mathis homered to tie it. Jon's first homer of the year gave the Twins a 3-2 edge in the top of the fourth, then the A's pushed one across in the last of the 4th to tie it at 3-3.  K-Mart (3-0) pitched the series opener, and was lights out, allowing only Mathis' homer for the only hit, fannig 13 and walking five.  The Pirate (3-2) did well, but faltered in the final frame, surrendering 8 hits in all, striking out four and walkign two. Edgar and Nelson each had three hits for the winners.
