Minnesota starter Nick Pivetta had a strong outing against the Kansas City Royals at Kauffman Stadium. The right-hander was a big part of his team's 4-3 win. Minnesota is now 19-34. Kansas City is 24-31.

The Twins got a big at-bat from left fielder Adam Lind. For the game, Lind was 1-3 with a home run. In the top of the 12th, with the bases empty, he stroked a solo home run. His 2nd home run of the season gave Minnesota a 4-3 lead.

"It was a solid team effort," said Lind after the game.
