Hansel, Royals Beat Twins, 9-5
Behind a fine performance from Pete Hansel, the Kansas City Royals knocked off the Minnesota Twins, 9-5. Hansel went 3-5 with a home run and a double, while scoring 2 times and driving in 5 for the Royals. Kansas City raised its record to 68-57 with the win.

Kansas City used the timely hitting of Mike Meyerhoff to seize the win. The catcher stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the seventh inning to put the Royals on top, 6-5. It was his only hit in 5 at-bats, but it was a game-changer.

"We'll savor this win," Hansel told the Kansas City Daily News, "then get ready for the next game."
