Extra-Inning Win by Royals Over Twins
John Creel did all he could to help his team win. In the end, though, it wasn't enough to keep the Minnesota Twins from losing, 11-9, to the Kansas City Royals at Target Field. Creel was 4 for 6 with a home run and 2 doubles. He scored 3 times and drove in 3. The save went to Brandon Ferrari, his 1st this season. The Twins, now 11-22, continue their poor start.

Kansas City needed the clutch hitting of Walt Cogswell to notch the win. The center fielder hammered a 2-run home run in the top of the 12th inning to put the Royals on top, 11-9. For the game, Cogswell had 1 home run and 1 single in 6 at-bats.

"We put it together today and came out with the win," Cogswell said in postgame remarks. "That's the main thing."
