Twins Top Royals in 12
The Kansas City Royals got a sterling performance from left fielder Bryce Brentz, but the Twins still prevailed, 7-6. Brentz was named the player of the game in a losing cause. He went 3-5 with a home run and 2 singles, while scoring 2 runs and driving in 4. Minnesota reliever Wandy Peralta was the winner. His record is now 6-2. Rhiner Cruz took the loss. The last-place Twins now have a win-loss record of 44-66.

The game was at a stalemate until first baseman Freddie Freeman came to bat in the bottom of the 12th. Facing Kansas City pitcher Richard Bleier, he hit a 1-1 sinker for a run-scoring single. It was a game-changer, putting Minnesota on top, 7-6.

"It's great to get the crowd pumped up," Freeman said.
