Howard Leads Twins to Win
The Minnesota Twins beat the Kansas City Royals by a score of 9-6. Minnesota second baseman Kevin Howard deserved the lion's share of the credit. Howard went 4-5 with a home run, a double, and 2 singles. He scored 2 times and drove in 2 for the Twins. Minnesota reliever Brian Bright got the win, raising his record to 1-0. Joe Jordahl was tagged with the loss. Mark Case recorded the save for Minnesota, his 2nd of the season.

Howard contributed a big hit, a 2-run home run, for Minnesota in the bottom of the first. With his team trailing 1-0, Howard took a splitter from Joe Jordahl and stroked the home run to right-center. His 2nd home run of the season allowed the Twins to leap in front, 2-1.

"We'll just keep our nose to the grindstone," Howard told the Minnesota Today.

The win puts Minnesota at 3-5.
