Fine Effort by Bellman Not Enough in 7-5 Twins Loss
Kevin Bellman did all he could to help his team win. In the end, though, it wasn't enough to keep the Minnesota Twins from losing, 7-5, to the Kansas City Royals at Target Field. Bellman slugged 3 home runs. John Brooks, the winner, goes to 3-1. He allowed 4 runs on 9 hits, with 2 walks and 3 strikeouts over 5.2 innings. The Twins fall to 11-22 and continue their lackluster start to the 2044 season.

Kansas City relied on the hitting of Mike Meyerhoff to pick up the win. The shortstop clubbed a 2-run home run in the top of the fifth inning to put the Royals on top, 7-2. For the game, Meyerhoff had 1 home run and 2 singles in 4 at-bats.

"I like to lead by example," said Meyerhoff. "I'm glad I could contribute to a good win."
