Twins Beat Kansas City, 3-2
|
The Minnesota Twins got a good effort from starter Michael Soroka in defeating the Kansas City Royals at Target Field. The final score was 3-2. Reliever Nick Anderson picked up the win. His record improves to 3-3. Jose Alvarado, who leads the AL in holds with 14, took the loss. The save went to Carlos Estevez, his 10th this season.
Minnesota took a 3-2 lead on Santiago Espinal's 6th double of the season. The run-scoring double, which Espinal hit in the bottom of the eighth, left Kansas City pitcher Matt Strahm visibly frustrated.
"Winning is hard sometimes," said Twins manager Joern Damkroeger. "This one was nice to get."
The victory puts Minnesota at 20-35.
