Minnesota Twins starter Paul Hale pitched a strong game against the Kansas City Royals at Target Field, leading the Twins to victory, 3-2. At 53-35, the Twins are currently first in the American League Central.

Gary Copeland was 1-2 with a walk for Minnesota. The two-time Most Valuable Player Award winner had a key at-bat in the bottom of the fifth. With one out and runners on 1st and 3rd, he broke a 2-2 tie with a run-scoring sacrifice fly off Pat Crosby. It was his 72nd RBI of the season.

"I had a good game," said Hale. "Winning makes it even better."
