Kurt Villarreal had a big hand in the 10-5 Minnesota triumph over Kansas City. He rattled off 3 hits in 5 at-bats, scoring 2 times and knocking in 4 runs. Greg Hoppe, the winner, improved to 2-3. He held Kansas City to 4 runs on 5 hits over 6 innings, while racking up 7 strikeouts. Minnesota is off to a sluggish start, getting just their 9th win in 25 games.

With Minnesota leading 5-4 in the top of the sixth, Villarreal hit a 2-run single off Kansas City hurler Corey Pounds. It was the 23rd hit of the season for Villarreal and put his team ahead, 7-4.

"Every manager loves to see an offensive outburst from his team," said Minnesota skipper Chris Greuling.
