Drooping Twins Lose 7th Straight
With right fielder Corbin Carroll leading the charge, the Kansas City Royals defeated the Minnesota Twins, 6-3, at Target Field. Carroll, who is tied for 2nd in the AL in stolen bases with 40, went 2 for 3 with a home run, a walk, and was hit by a pitch. He scored 2 runs and drove in 3. Kansas City reliever Jhoan Duran picked up the win, raising his record to 5-5. Alex Speas was tagged with the loss. Ryan Helsley converted his 25th save in 30 tries.

Carroll had a game-changing home run in the top of the ninth. On a 1-1 curveball from Thomas Szapucki, he banged a 3-run home run to left-center, giving the Royals a 6-3 lead. It was the 17th home run of the year for Carroll.

"I'm trying to see the ball big, see the ball up in the zone and put the barrel on it," Carroll told the Kansas City Today.

The Twins have now dropped 7 straight.
