Royals Foil Twins, 4-2
The Kansas City Royals racked up a win at Richter Field, bumping off the Minnesota Twins, 4-2. Mike Vega, who started for Kansas City, pitched effectively for his team. The first-place Twins dropped to 81-64.

Who knows how it might've ended, had it not been for Abimelec Williams? The Kansas City shortstop had a 2-run double in the top of the second inning to put the Royals on top, 2-0. For the game, Williams had 1 double and 1 single in 4 at-bats.

Vega attributed the win to his team's "determination."
