The Minnesota Twins probably don't believe that Mark Kotsay was ever gone. Kotsay was racing around the bases hitting inside-the-park HRs the last time these two teams met, and he's in the lineup tonight.
The A's send Joe Kennedy to the mound, hoping Kennedy can bounce back from his first poor outing of the season when he was knocked around by the Orioles. His opponent is a guy named after Bengie Molina: Kevin Slowey, who will making his major league debut.
