Royals Drop Twins, 7-3
Matt Chapman was a major factor in the 7-3 Kansas City win over Minnesota. The Royals third baseman was 2-4 with a home run. He scored 2 runs and drove in 2. Reid Detmers got credit for the win, improving to 7-5. He allowed 2 runs on 5 hits in 5.1 innings. Kansas City now has a record of 69-53 with the win.

Daulton Varsho had a big 2-run double for the Royals in the top of the third inning. With Kansas City leading 4-1 and runners on 1st and 2nd, he got a curveball from 32-year old left-handed pitcher Marco Gonzales and swatted a double to right-center. It was his 24th double of the season, and more importantly, it put the Royals ahead, 6-1.

"The tide will turn," said losing manager Jonathan A. "We just need to keep our chins up."
