Royals Absorb 6-3 Loss at Target Field
The Minnesota Twins beat the Kansas City Royals by a score of 6-3. Minnesota third baseman Will Leslie deserved the lion's share of the credit. Leslie went 3 for 4 with a home run and 2 singles. He drove in 3 runs and scored once for the Twins. The win puts Minnesota at 74-50 this season.

Leslie had a game-changing home run in the bottom of the seventh. On a 0-1 fastball from John Hall, he banged a 3-run home run to left, giving the Twins a 6-3 lead. It was the 25th home run of the year for Leslie.

"Our guys are never satisfied," said Minnesota manager Jorge G Twins.
