The 4-RBI night of right fielder Jermaine Dye helped the Kansas City Royals triumph, 8-5, over the Minnesota Twins. The winning pitcher was Mark Gubicza. He's now 8-4. He went 7.1 innings, allowing 4 runs on 8 hits for the Royals. Jeff Montgomery was called on to finish, recording his 24th save.

Dye had a key at-bat for Kansas City in the top of the second. With runners on 1st and 2nd, he hit a run-scoring double. It was his 13th double of the season and gave Kansas City an early 2-1 lead.

Dye said, "Whether you hit the ball hard, you walk, you have a long at-bat, 10 or 12 pitches, or you hit a homer, you're just trying to do anything you can do to help the team win."

Kansas City now has a record of 42-42 with the win.
