The Minnesota Twins extended their winning streak at Target Field.

Kansas City got a terrific performance from designated hitter Melky Cabrera, but it wasn't enough to beat the Minnesota Twins. Minnesota won the Target Field contest, 6-2. Cabrera was the player of the game despite being on the losing side. He was 4-4 with 4 singles and a walk. Jason Hammel got the win, improving to 4-9. He worked 6.2 innings, giving up 1 run on 9 hits, while striking out 4 and walking 2. A.J. Ramos got the save, his 11th in 11 chances.

Whit Merrifield swatted a 2-run home run for Minnesota in the bottom of the fifth. The second baseman went 2 for 4 for the game, including 1 home run and 1 double. He scored 2 runs and batted in 2.

Merrifield told a Minnesota Bulletin reporter that he was "satisfied" with the win.

This win makes it 6 in a row for Minnesota.
