Kansas City Defeated by Minnesota, 4-2
Minnesota Twins starter Bert Blyleven turned in an exceptional performance against the Kansas City Royals at Target Field, resulting in a Minnesota win, 4-2. Blyleven got the win, improving to 3-0. He gave up 3 hits and walked 3 over 7.1 innings. He allowed 1 run. The Twins keep rolling, raising their record to 8-4.

In the top of the ninth, Willie Wilson stood in the box, looking for a pitch to hammer. The Royals were trailing 4-2, but had runners on 2nd and 3rd. That's when Rick Aguilera made a terrific pitch and Wilson popped out. Gone was the dream of a Kansas City comeback.
