Twins squeaked one out at Target Field, 3-2 over the Royals in a tight one that came down to the last few outs. Neither offense did much against the starters, so this turned into a grind-it-out affair where a single run felt like a rally.

Minnesota's bullpen slammed the door late and got just enough from the heart of the order to hang on. Kansas City left the go-ahead run stranded and heads home stuck below .500, while the Twins claw back to even at 54-54.
