Kansas City Bats Go Silent in 3-0 Loss
The Minnesota Twins got a magnificent performance from pitcher Shane Sandoval, who muffled the Kansas City offense en route to a tight 3-0 Twins win at Target Field. Sandoval went 5.2 innings to notch the win. He scattered 4 hits, walked 2, and struck out 6. His record improves to 16-5. Víctor Ortega got the save, his 26th in 29 chances.

Raúl Rodríguez, who finished 4th in the AL in OPS with .944 in 2062, chipped in for Minnesota with a 2-run home run in the bottom of the first. For the game, the right fielder had 2 hits in 3 at-bats with 1 home run, 1 single, 1 run scored, and 2 runs batted in.

"The name on the front of this uniform is all that matters to me," Rodríguez told the Minnesota Bulletin. "And padding the Minnesota win column."

With the win, Minnesota pushed its record to 81-55.
