Molina Helps Minnesota Outscore Kansas City
The rain came, as predicted, but the Minnesota Twins and Kansas City Royals were able to complete their ballgame.

José Molina helped his team muscle past the Kansas City Royals, 13-10. In the game, the Minnesota catcher was 4-4 with a home run, a double, 2 singles, and was hit by a pitch, while scoring 3 times and driving in 2. Jimmy Seager notched the win in relief. The right-hander allowed no runs on 1 hit in 2 innings. His record now sits at 3-0. David Silva converted his 7th save in 9 tries.

Minnesota used the timely hitting of Alejandro Soriano to seize the win. The center fielder stroked a 2-run single in the top of the eighth inning to put the Twins on top, 13-10. It was his only hit in 3 at-bats, but it was a game-changer.

"I felt good up there," said Soriano. "I saw the ball well."

The win puts Minnesota at 34-50.
