Royals Come Up Short at Minnesota, 8-7
The Minnesota Twins got a rain-soaked win over the Kansas City Royals.

Despite a fine performance by catcher Mike Meyerhoff, the Kansas City Royals lost to the Minnesota Twins, 8-7. Meyerhoff went 3 for 4 with a home run, a double, and a walk. He scored 2 runs and drove in 2. Inkei Wakamatsu got the save, his 7th in 9 chances.

Had Ryan Flynn Jr. not delivered a key base hit in the bottom of the seventh, the outcome might have been different. Instead, with two down and runners on 1st and 2nd, Flynn Jr. hit a run-scoring single. That made the score 8-7, in favor of the Twins.

"We had the game right there for the taking," said Kansas City manager Mike Miller. "But we decided not to take it."

The win gives the Twins a record of 25-55.
