The Kansas City Royals went home winners at Target Field, thanks in large part to starter Bryan Boykin. Boykin stifled the Minnesota Twins, enabling Kansas City to grab the 8-1 win. Boykin picked up the win for Kansas City, going 6.1 innings. He gave up 1 run on 4 hits. He now sports a record of 10-10. After today's action, Kansas City sits at 91-66, while Minnesota falls to 89-68.

Kansas City relied on the hitting of Jose Pacheco to pick up the win. The shortstop clubbed a 3-run home run in the top of the third inning to put the Royals on top, 3-1. For the game, Pacheco had 1 home run and 1 single in 5 at-bats.

In postgame comments to the Kansas City Daily News, Pacheco said, "If the effort is there, the wins will come."
