MINNESOTA TWINS AT KANSAS CITY ROYALS
GAME ID: 845 - FRIDAY, APRIL 21ST , 2045 - GAME LOG
  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 R H E
Minnesota Twins (5-13) 1 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 3 9 1
Kansas City Royals (10-7) 2 0 1 1 5 0 0 0 X 9 14 0
Royals Roll to 9-3 Win Over Twins
Getting offensive support from Bill Baconneck, the Kansas City Royals topped the Minnesota Twins, 9-3. Baconneck was 3-3 with a double, 2 singles, and a walk, while adding 2 RBI and scoring once for the Royals. Oscar Banda got the win, improving to 1-1. He pitched 6 innings, giving up 8 hits and 3 runs, while striking out 6 and walking 1. The loss drops the Twins to 5-13.

There was more than one reason the Royals beat the Twins, but Baconneck's big at-bat in the bottom of the first was an important factor. He staked his team to a 2-1 lead when he hit a run-scoring single.

"We'll relax tonight and enjoy this win," said Baconneck.
