Sanchez Helps Twins Win, 12-5, with Pair of Homers
Gary Sanchez was a major factor in the 12-5 Minnesota win over Kansas City. The Twins catcher hit 2 home runs, while adding 4 RBI and scoring twice. Colin Poche, 6-1, earned the win in relief. He allowed no runs on no hits in 2 innings. Minnesota has now won 3 in a row.

Minnesota third baseman Royce Lewis staked his team to an early lead in the top of the second inning, when he hit a 2-run double with runners on 1st and 2nd.

Lewis told a Minnesota Daily reporter that he was "satisfied" with the win.
