Kansas City Topples Minnesota, 9-6
The Kansas City Royals topped the Minnesota Twins, 9-6, at Target Field. Kansas City first baseman Paul Goldschmidt was a spark plug for the offense. He went 1-4 with a home run and a walk. He scored 2 times and drove in 3. Jhoan Duran locked down his 17th save. Kansas City is now 26-27, while Minnesota is 26-26.

Willy Adames helped his team jump on top from the get-go. His first time up in the top of the first, he cranked a 2-run single to give Kansas City a 2-0 lead.

"If we play like this, we can win a lot of games," Goldschmidt told the Kansas City Citizen.
