The Minnesota Twins continued their hot streak with a 7-2 win over the Kansas City Royals, extending their winning streak to five games. The Twins’ offense was powered by a three-run homer from Carlos Correa and a two-hit night from Max Kepler, as they continue to solidify their position atop the AL Central.
Minnesota’s pitching was also stellar, with starter Joe Ryan delivering six strong innings, allowing just two runs while striking out eight. The bullpen kept the Royals in check, with Jhoan Duran closing out the game to secure the victory.
The win keeps the Twins comfortably ahead in the AL Central, where they hold a significant lead over the second-place Cleveland Guardians. Manager Rocco Baldelli praised his team’s consistency during this crucial stretch of the season. “We’re playing great baseball right now, and the guys are feeding off each other,” Baldelli said.
For the Royals, the loss was another in a difficult season. Kansas City’s young roster has struggled to find consistency, and they remain near the bottom of the AL standings. Despite the defeat, the Royals are focused on developing their talent and building for the future.
