Royals Earn 5-4 Win Versus Twins
Target Field was the site of a competitive game between the Minnesota Twins and Kansas City Royals.

Kansas City Royals starter Jimmy Silveira IV was in a groove as he led his team to a win over the Minnesota Twins, 5-4. Kansas City reliever Bryan Boykin picked up the win to move to 6-8. Keeley Schenk suffered the loss. Asa Hahn was credited with the save. He has now successfully converted 9 of 14 save opportunities.

Kansas City used the timely hitting of Gil Switzer to capture the win. The right fielder socked a 2-run home run in the top of the ninth inning to put the Royals ahead, 5-3. It was his only hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a big one.

"If the personal accolades come, so be it," said Silveira IV. "I just want to win ballgames."

With the win, Kansas City pushed its record to 76-57.
