Fans watched the Kansas City Royals and the Minnesota Twins fight to the finish.

A 3-RBI performance from Justin Rupert helped the Kansas City Royals beat the Minnesota Twins, 6-5. The losses continue to pile up for Minnesota, which has now fallen 13 times in a row.

"Everyone's kind of edgy right now," said losing manager Patrick Slack, "but nothing a couple of wins wouldn't cure."
