Twins Top Royals, 7-4
Getting offensive support from Gary Copeland, the Minnesota Twins topped the Kansas City Royals, 7-4. Copeland was 3-3 with a home run, 2 singles, and 2 walks for the Twins. Jimmy Bannatyne earned the save for Minnesota, his 8th of the year. The win brings the Twins to 18-11, a promising start as the team looks to return to the playoffs.

The game hit a turning point in the bottom of the fourth inning, when the Twins were trailing 3-2. Mariano González delivered a two-out 2-run single for Minnesota, catapulting his team into the lead.

"This is truly a great team to play with," Copeland said after the game. "We're like brothers, and when we come together to pull out the win, that just makes it all the better."
