Twins pitcher Trevor May reached 101 pitches for the first time this season, but it wasn't enough as he dropped his second decision of the season Tuesday night against the A's.
May (2-2) allowed a run-scoring single to Billy Butler in the opening frame, and another run-scoring single to Brett Lawrie in the sixth inning for his only damage of the night. He was charged with two runs on five hits and two walks while striking out three over 5 2/3 innings of a tough-luck 2-1 defeat.
May has not allowed more than two earned runs over each of his last four starts. He will look to get back in the win column Sunday in Cleveland.
