Morales drives in 4 runs to Fuel Twins Offense
The Minnesota Twins powered past the Kansas City Royals, 9-6, at Target Field. Kendry Morales provided some of the pop. He was 2-4 with a home run and a walk. He scored 2 runs and drove in 4. The 4th-place Twins now have a record of 65-60.

Allan Dykstra drew 1 walk in 5 trips to the plate for Minnesota. The 25-year old first baseman had a key at-bat in the bottom of the eighth. With one out and the bases loaded, he broke a 4-4 tie with a run-scoring walk off Brandon Pello. It was his 79th walk of the season.

"We'll sip on a cold one and savor this win," said Dykstra.
