Royals Upend Twins, 4-3
The Minnesota Twins could not turn a fine performance from pitcher Bear Bay into a win. Instead, the Kansas City Royals prevailed, 4-3. Bay threw 8.0 innings of 5-hit ball. Jonny Venters earned the win, while 23-year old right-handed pitcher Bear Bay took the loss for Minnesota. Charlie Hamilton earned the save for Kansas City, his 5th.

Kansas City used a big swing from Mike Wilson to get the win. The center fielder walloped a 2-run home run in the top of the fifth inning to put the Royals up, 3-0. It was his lone hit in 3 at-bats, but it changed the outcome.

"It's nice to step up when your team needs you," said Wilson.

The Twins fall to 7-16.
