Royals Post 3-1 Win Over Minnesota
Joe Ryan pitched well, but his team, the Minnesota Twins, still dropped a 3-1 decision to the Kansas City Royals at Target Field. With the win, Kansas City goes to 53-70, while the Twins fall to 74-54.

Nick Pratto, who is tied for 9th in the AL in runs scored with 81, had a direct impact on the outcome. Pratto contributed a 2-run home run in the top of the third inning to put Kansas City up, 3-0.

"Some wins are easy and some are difficult, but either way we come to the ballpark ready to work hard every day," Pratto told the Kansas City Times.
