Herrmann, who spend the first four years of his career with the Twins, suffered a knee injury in spring training and hadn’t played in the majors until Tuesday. Herrmann’s only previous grand slam came as a rookie for the Twins in 2013 against the Los Angeles Angels. Liam Hendriks, the fourth Oakland pitcher, recorded his third save with a scoreless ninth. Grossman had two hits, while Canha and Laureano scored twice apiece for the A’s, who won their fourth straight. Castro, who also doubled, went 3-for-4, while Sano and Luis Arraez collected two hits each for the Twins, who lost for the fourth time in their last five games.
