Minnesota Beats Kansas City, 8-1
Minnesota and Kansas City got after it at Kauffman Stadium.

The Minnesota Twins topped the Kansas City Royals, 8-1, with catcher Ryan Jeffers playing a big role. Jeffers was 3 for 4 with 2 doubles. He drove in 3 runs and scored once for the Twins in the win. The win was credited to Jorge Lopez in relief. His record improves to 2-0. Josh Taylor took the loss.

Jeffers had a critical at-bat in the top of the seventh for Minnesota, coming through with a 2-run single to put Minnesota in front, 3-1.

Jeffers attributed the win to "energy and focus on the part of everyone."

The Royals fall to 13-19 and continue their lackluster start to the 2023 season.
