A good performance from designated hitter Luis Díaz helped the Kansas City Royals defeat the Minnesota Twins, 9-4. Díaz went 2 for 5 with 2 home runs, while adding 4 RBI and scoring twice for the Royals. Ed Bunney picked up the win with 5.1 innings of work. He allowed 4 runs on 10 hits, while walking 2 and striking out 2. On the season, he is now 8-4. Kansas City bumps their record to 58-50 with the win.

A key moment came in the top of the fourth inning when Royals catcher Walt Sorensen socked a 0-2 curveball to center for a 2-run single, putting Kansas City up, 6-3.

"No time for posing," said Sorensen. "The next game will be here before you know it."
