Spirited fans greeted the Kansas City Royals for their clash with the Minnesota Twins.

The Kansas City Royals got a sterling performance from pitcher Max Scherzer, but the Minnesota Twins still prevailed, 8-4. Scherzer threw 5.0 innings of 3-hit ball. Jason Foley claimed the win after being brought in from the bullpen. The right-hander allowed 1 run on 1 hit in 1.2 innings. His record stands at 3-3.

Minnesota used a timely hit from Kevin Newman to get the win. The second baseman stroked a 2-run double in the top of the ninth inning to put the Twins ahead, 6-4. It was his only hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a difference-maker.

"We had some nice at-bats at the right time," said Twins manager Jonathan A.

The last-place Twins now have a win-loss record of 62-81.
