The Royals nearly came back from five runs down in the ninth innning.
The Twins played eight great innings of baseball Monday, but a near blunder made things interesting in the ninth inning, resulting in a 6-5 ballgame.
Minnesota was able to provide some run support in the bottom of the third inning when Jose Miranda hit his fifth home run of the season, driving in Edouard Julien, taking the first lead of the game 2-0. Kansas City broke Joe Ryan's remarkable 14 retired-batter streak in the the sixth inning. The lead was narrowed to 5-1 after a Vinnie Pasquantino RBI single.
An Alex Kirilloff RBI single in the eighth inning extended the score to 6-1. Cole Sands came in to close out the game, but after a Hunter Renfroe RBI double, the Twins looked towards Jhoan Duran to finish things off. With a runner on second and third he hit the first batter he faced, loading the bases.
