Twins Clip Royals, 6-5
Minnesota Twins starter Keyvius Sampson was in a groove as he led his team to a win over the Kansas City Royals, 6-5. Jimmy Bannatyne collected his 25th save. The Twins, at 63-55, lead by one game in their division.

The Royals had been locked in a 3-3 tie with the Twins going into the bottom of the sixth inning. That changed quickly when the 26-year old second baseman Braden Shewmake came to the plate. Shewmake hit a 2-run home run on a 1-1 fastball from Kansas City hurler Greg Shapiro. It was Shewmake's 10th home run of the year.

"Nice to tuck this win away," said Shewmake.
