					| Twins Lose By a Run at Kansas City, 4-3 |  
					| The Kansas City Royals beat the Minnesota Twins, 4-3, in part because of third baseman Mikolas Markus. He was 2 for 3 with a home run, a double,  and a walk. He drove in 2 runs and scored once. Brandon Ferrari earned his 1st save in 3 chances. Kansas City is now 72-88. 
 Markus contributed a big hit, a 2-run  home run, for Kansas City in the bottom of the third. With his team trailing 2-1, Markus took a fastball from Brian Bright and stroked the home run to left. His 6th home run of the season allowed the Royals to leap in front, 3-2.
 
 Markus told a Kansas City Chronicle reporter that he was "satisfied" with the win.
