Minnesota Gets 4-2 Win
Starting pitcher Jack Flaherty was a major factor in the 4-2 Minnesota Twins triumph over the Kansas City Royals. The winning pitcher was Flaherty, now 2-0. He tossed 6.2 innings of 2-hit ball, while walking 1 and fanning 8. The loss drops the Royals to 6-4.

Minnesota used the hitting of Jake Rogers to pick up the win. The catcher clubbed a 2-run home run in the top of the fifth inning to put the Twins on top, 3-0. For the game, Rogers had 1 home run and 1 single in 4 at-bats.

"I just tried to make good contact," said Rogers.
