Twins Score Late, Upend Royals, 5-4
|
The Minnesota Twins beat the Kansas City Royals, 5-4, at Target Field. The win was largely due to the efforts of designated hitter Kendrys Morales, who captured player of the game honors. He went 4 for 5 with 4 singles. Minnesota is now 65-78.
Maikel Franco was the walk-off hero for Minnesota. With the game tied in the bottom of the ninth inning, the Twins third baseman hit a dramatic run-scoring single to send the teams home.
Morales said this kind of win gives the team "a buzz."
