Twins Win 7-6 Nail-Biter Versus Royals
Shane Matheny was a major contributor to the 7-6 Minnesota win over Kansas City. The Twins shortstop was 2-2 with a double and a walk. He scored 2 times. With the win, Minnesota upped its record to 65-54.

The clutch at-bat came in the bottom of the tenth inning, when Minnesota shortstop Carlos Correa, facing Derek Law, had a run-scoring sacrifice fly. It gave the Twins the 7-6 win.

"We were able to get some things going offensively," said Correa.
