Big Day for Abreu as Twins Down Royals, 9-2
The Minnesota Twins topped the Kansas City Royals, 9-2, in AL action at Kauffman Stadium. The game was highlighted by the performance of Minnesota right fielder Bobby Abreu. Minnesota pitcher Angus Broomhall got the win. He's now 2-1. Franklin Tejeda was tagged with the loss. The loss puts Kansas City at 9-11.

Minnesota used a well-timed hit by Johnny Damon to capture the win. The center fielder socked a 2-run double in the top of the fourth inning to put the Twins ahead, 4-0. Though it was his only hit in 4 at-bats, it was important.

"We didn't pitch good, and when you don't pitch good, you lose," said Kansas City manager Kevin S.
