Royals Hope Win Turns Around Slow Start
In a low-scoring game between the Kansas City Royals and the Minnesota Twins, pitcher Bryan Boykin was masterful on the mound. The Kansas City right-hander spearheaded his team's 3-1 win. Picking up the save was Joe Noonan, his 1st. Minnesota is 4-11 after the defeat.

The Royals got an important contribution from shortstop Mike Meyerhoff, who in the bottom of the fourth punched a 1-1 cutter into center for a run-scoring triple. It was his 2nd triple of the season and put the Royals ahead, 2-0.

"We put a lot of pressure on ourselves," Meyerhoff told a Kansas City News reporter. "Sometimes we just need to relax."
