Twins Sneak Past Royals, 5-4
The Minnesota Twins faced a tough opponent in Kansas City pitcher Robinson Demacías, but did just enough to pull out the victory at Kauffman Stadium by a final score of 5-4. Demacías went 7.1 innings and allowed 4 runs. Their 79-73 record puts the Twins third in the American League Central Division.

Minnesota used a clutch hit from Steve Sanders to snatch the win. The designated hitter belted a 2-run home run in the top of the eighth inning to put the Twins ahead, 5-4. It was his only hit, but it was huge.

"Good win for us," said Sanders. "We'll lace up our cleats and go after the next one."
