Royals Top Twins, 4-1, Behind Sale
Kansas City and Minnesota duked it out and the Royals came out victorious.

Pitcher Chris Sale was sensational for the Kansas City Royals in his team's 4-1 triumph over the Minnesota Twins. Sale picked up the win, and it was well-earned. With the win, the Royals hiked their record to 65-51.

Minnesota could barely put a dent in Sale. The left-hander tossed 94 pitches over 7.1 innings for the Royals, allowing only 4 hits.

Royals manager Bryce Shuck raved about Sale after the game. "I thought Chris was 'lights out.'"
