Twins Trounce Royals, 12-3
A 3-RBI performance from center fielder Väinö Tapaninen led the Minnesota Twins to a win over the Kansas City Royals, 12-3. The winning pitcher was Jesus Fernandez. His record is now 1-12. The right-hander went 7 innings, allowing 2 runs on 5 hits for the Twins. The Twins go to 40-122 with the win.

Minnesota used the bat of Sadamu Noguchi to capture the win. The designated hitter jacked a grand slam home run in the top of the fifth inning to put the Twins ahead, 6-1. It was his lone hit in 5 at-bats, but it was a dandy.

"Wish we'd had more wins to celebrate like this one," said Tapaninen.
