Twins Lose, 4-2, to Kansas City
The 4-hit performance of Antonio Alvarez, who finished 2nd in the AL in on-base percentage with .385 in 2112, helped the Kansas City Royals beat the Minnesota Twins, 4-2. Scott Bowling earned the win for Kansas City. He lasted 6.1 innings, allowing 2 runs on 7 hits, while striking out 2. With the win, he raised his record to 11-4. With the win, Kansas City goes to 74-52, while the Twins fall to 71-56.

Kansas City used a well-timed hit by Fernando Andino to capture the win. The second baseman socked a run-scoring double in the top of the fifth inning to put the Royals ahead, 2-1. Though it was his only hit in 5 at-bats, it was important.

"I like to lead by example," said Alvarez. "I'm glad I could contribute to a good win."
