Royals Win, 7-6, at Minnesota
The Kansas City Royals withstood an impressive performance by Minnesota right fielder Joel Kunkler to defeat the Twins, 7-6, at Target Field. Kunkler went 4-5 with a home run, a double, and 2 singles. He scored 2 times and drove in 2. Matt Evans picked up the win with 6 innings of work. He allowed 4 runs on 10 hits, while walking 0 and striking out 6. On the season, he is now 7-4. Asa Hahn converted his 12th save in 16 tries.

Kansas City used a well-timed hit by Avery Maxwell to capture the win. The catcher socked a 2-run double in the top of the fourth inning to put the Royals ahead, 4-2. Though it was his only hit in 4 at-bats, it was important.

"I like the grit of this ballclub," Maxwell said.

Minnesota has now lost 16 straight.
