Former Saugus High School pitcher Tommy Milone picked up his 10^th win of the season as the Oakland A’s defeated the Minnesota Twins 5-1 Wednesday afternoon.

Milone won for the first time since July 14 after giving up a run on two hits over eight innings. He walked one, hit a batter and struck out five while overcoming four Oakland errors.

“Typically you don’t win a game when you make four errors,” A’s manager Bob Melvin told MLB.com. “Milone didn’t let that affect him. He went out and picked up his teammates, where we weren’t too good in the field.”

Milone gave up a single to Ryan Doumit and a double to Matt Carson leading off the second, the only hits the Twins got off the A’s left-hander, who was 0-3 over his previous five starts.

“That’s about par for what he’s done at home through the season,” Melvin said. “It was a great outing, a nice recovery.”

“Milone was pretty good,” Twins manager Ron Gardenhire said. “He changed speeds, located his fastball in and out, lots of good changeups and breaking balls. He kept us off balance pretty much the whole day.”

The news was the only good news out of the Oakland front office Wednesday as Bartolo Colon was slapped with a 50-game suspension after testing positive for performance enhancing drugs.
