Twins Pick Up 3-1 Road Win Over Kansas City
Starting pitcher Orlando Basurto had a solid game. He was a big reason the Minnesota Twins throttled the Kansas City Royals, 3-1. Basurto went 5.1 innings to notch the win. He scattered 7 hits, walked 2, and struck out 7. His record improves to 2-1. The Twins sit in third place in the American League Central Division with a record of 21-20.

Who knows how it might've ended, had it not been for Chris Armstrong? The Minnesota catcher had a run-scoring double in the top of the fourth inning to put the Twins on top, 2-0. For the game, Armstrong had 1 double and 1 single in 4 at-bats.

"This level of focus will win us a lot of ballgames," Basurto said after the game.
