Twins Topple Royals with Late Rally
|
Whit Merrifield helped his team muscle past the Kansas City Royals, 7-4. In the game, the Minnesota second baseman went 2-5 with a home run, while adding 3 RBI and scoring once. The third-place Royals have lost 4 consecutive games.
Merrifield had a game-changing home run in the bottom of the ninth. On a 1-2 fastball from Matt Strahm, he banged a 3-run home run to left, giving the Twins a 7-4 lead. It was the 9th home run of the year for Merrifield.
"We'll grab a cold one tonight and go after another win tomorrow," Merrifield said.
