Royals Absorb 8-5 Loss at Target Field
The Minnesota Twins beat the Kansas City Royals, 8-5, at Target Field. The win was due in part to center fielder Byron Buxton, who went 3-5 with a triple and a double. He drove in 3 runs and scored once. Chris Paddack, the winning pitcher, improved to 5-3. He pitched 5.2 innings, giving up 7 hits and 5 runs, while striking out 9 and walking 2. Minnesota raised its record to 30-25 with the win.

Bobby Witt Jr. tried to get his team back in the game. With Kansas City trailing 8-2 in the top of the 6th, Witt Jr. hit a 2-run double. But the Twins held on to get the win. "Witt Jr. had a good at-bat," said manager Patrick Ochs. "We could have used a few more like it."
