Kansas City pitcher John Hall did his part in helping his team beat the Minnesota Twins, 5-1. The left-hander kept opposing batters in check throughout the game. Hall got the win, improving to 7-9. He allowed 6 hits and walked 0 over 7 innings. Hall allowed 1 run. Josh Moncada converted his 3rd save in 8 tries.

Kansas City used the timely hitting of Tony Prado to capture the win. The left fielder socked a 2-run home run in the top of the sixth inning to put the Royals ahead, 2-0. It was his only hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a big one.

"We're a talented bunch when we're playing well," said Prado. "I think we showed that here."

The third-place Royals lifted their record to 60-78.
