Twins Nip Royals, 5-4
The Minnesota Twins did just enough to secure a victory over the Kansas City Royals, 5-4, in 10 innings at Target Field. Nobody did more than pitcher Michael Carpenter. The second-place Twins have won 5 in a row.

The decisive blow was delivered by Walker Jenkins in the bottom of the tenth when he hit a run-scoring double off 30-year old left-handed pitcher Kris Bubic to win the game for Minnesota. The home crowd went nuts.

"This kind of game is tough on the heart," said winning manager Rocco Baldelli.
