Twins Win at Kansas City, 5-3
The Minnesota Twins topped the Kansas City Royals, 5-3, in AL action at Kauffman Stadium. The standout performance belonged to Minnesota pitcher and Dominican Republic, native Pedro Martinez. Eric Knott earned the save, his 4th. Minnesota goes to 13-6 with the win.

Minnesota used a well-timed hit by Roberto Escobar to capture the win. The right fielder socked a 2-run double in the top of the second inning to put the Twins ahead, 2-0. Though it was his only hit in 1 at-bat, it was important.

"The other side took advantage in some key situations," said Kansas City manager Kevin S.
