Royals Beat Twins, 6-2
Kansas City pitcher Scott Bowling had a large part in his team subduing the Minnesota Twins, 6-2. The opposition could never mount much of a rally against the right-hander. Theron Koulpasis snagged the win in relief. He goes to 1-1 on the season. Roberto Aranda suffered the loss. Kansas City goes to 6-3.

Kansas City used the timely hitting of Edwin Gonzalez to seize the win. The designated hitter stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the ninth inning to put the Royals on top, 3-2. It was his only hit in 1 at-bat, but it was a game-changer.

"I still think this team has room for improvement," Gonzalez told the Kansas City Chronicle.
