					| Royals Drop Twins, 4-3 |  
					| Fans saw a dandy of a game between the Kansas City Royals and Minnesota Twins. 
 Bill Baconneck made an impact in the 4-3 Kansas City win over Minnesota. Baconneck, who was drafted in the 2nd round of the 2040 draft, went 3-3 with a home run and 2 singles. He scored 2 runs. Mike Jones got credit for the win, improving to 4-2. He allowed no runs on 1 hit in 2 innings.
 
 The game was still up for grabs in the bottom of the 12th. With two out, Baconneck hit a fastball from Bryce Schimmoeller for a solo  home run. The Royals, in dramatic fashion, had a walk-off win.
 
 "I felt good up there," said Baconneck. "I saw the ball well."
 
 Kansas City has now won 4 straight, while the Twins have lost 5 in a row.
