Royals Get Close Win Over Twins
|
Kansas City and Minnesota duked it out at Metrodome and the Royals came out victorious.
The Kansas City Royals topped the Minnesota Twins, 9-6, with youngster Andruw Jones playing a key role. Jones was 3 for 5 with a home run and 2 singles, while scoring 2 times and driving in 3 for the Royals in the win. Armando Benitez notched his 22nd save in 28 chances.
The Royals got a lift from right fielder Richard Hidalgo who had a run-scoring single in the top of the ninth inning off Jerry Spradlin. It was his 90th hit of the season and put Kansas City in front, 7-6.
"Winning is contagious," said Hidalgo. "We're looking forward to the next game."
Kansas City goes to 60-34. The win puts them 5 games up in their division.
