Twins Fall Short, 6-5, at Kansas City
The Kansas City Royals did just enough to sneak past the Minnesota Twins, 6-5, at Kauffman Stadium. Kansas City center fielder Jacoby Ellsbury, in particular, had a standout performance. Justin Wilson collected save number 1. The Royals, now 31-20, have won 5 in a row.

An impactful at-bat came in the bottom of the fourth inning. With runners on 2nd and 3rd, the batter, DJ LeMahieu, reached on an error by the 1B, driving in 1 run. It made the score 4-3, Kansas City, and helped them go on to win.

"If we play like this, we can win a lot of games," Ellsbury told the Kansas City Daily.
