Royals Win at Minnesota, 7-0
Kansas City beat Minnesota in a rain-soaked ballgame.

Starting pitcher Keith Kidd was a major factor in the 7-0 Kansas City Royals triumph over the Minnesota Twins. In 6.2 innings, Kidd surrendered 3 hits, while striking out 7 and walking 4. He allowed no runs.

The Royals got a big at-bat from left fielder Chris Cooper, who in the top of the fourth hit a 2-run home run. It was his 10th home run of the season and put the Royals on top, 3-0.

"It's a mindset," said Kidd. "Just trying to do your job, trying to be consistent."

Kansas City has a record of 53-31, placing them second in the American League Central Division.
