The Minnesota Twins defeated the Kansas City Royals by the score of 10-2, with the biggest share of the credit going to left fielder Kirby Puckett. Puckett went 3-5 with a home run and a double. He scored 2 runs and drove in 3 for the Twins on the day. The victory makes Minnesota 13-19.

Rod Carew chipped in a grand slam home run for Minnesota in the bottom of the seventh. For the game, the first baseman had 2 hits in 4 at-bats with 1 home run, 1 single, 1 run scored, and 5 RBI.

"We're producers not directors," said Puckett. "Produce a good swing. Can't direct where it goes."
