Royals Pick Up 4-1 Win Over Minnesota
|
The Kansas City Royals defeated the Minnesota Twins, 4-1, at Target Field. Kansas City left fielder Gunnar Nelson had a superb performance. He went 2 for 4 with a home run and a double, while scoring 2 times and driving in 2. Kris Bubic got credit for the win, improving to 3-1. He allowed 1 run on 7 hits in 5 innings. Joe Kelly picked up the save, his 3rd.
Nelson contributed a big hit, a 2-run home run, for Kansas City in the top of the fifth. With his team trailing 1-0, Nelson took a fastball from Lucas Giolito and stroked the home run to right. His 3rd home run of the season allowed the Royals to leap in front, 2-1.
"We'll enjoy this win," said Nelson. "But there's more we hope to accomplish."
The win takes Kansas City to 13-13.
