The Kansas City Royals grabbed a win, 6-3, over the Minnesota Twins at Target Field. Kansas City catcher Sean Murphy belted 2 home runs, while adding 3 RBI and scoring twice. With the victory, the Royals upped their record to 53-38.

Kansas City used the timely hitting of Trent Grisham to capture the win. The center fielder socked a 2-run home run in the top of the sixth inning to put the Royals ahead, 4-3. It was his only hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a big one.

Grisham called the win "a team effort."
