Twins Get Past Kansas City for 5-4 Win
The Minnesota Twins picked up a win at Kauffman Stadium, knocking off the Kansas City Royals, 5-4. On the mound for Minnesota was right-hander Alex Serrano. He played a key role in the triumph. Mark Campbell converted his 17th save in 24 tries. The first-place Royals have lost 4 straight games.

Cameron Middleton came through with a big-time hit for Minnesota. The pinch hitter smacked a solo home run in the top of the ninth inning to give his team the lead, 5-4. It was his only hit, but it was clutch.

"Alex's a gamer," said Minnesota manager Chris Greuling. "Glad he's on our side."
