Kansas City pitcher Denny Neagle did his part in helping his team beat the Minnesota Twins, 12-3. The left-hander kept opposing batters in check throughout the game. The win brings the Royals to 7-5, a promising start as the team looks to return to the playoffs.

Kansas City needed the clutch hitting of Barry Larkin to notch the win. The shortstop hammered a 2-run home run in the top of the second inning to put the Royals on top, 2-1. For the game, Larkin had 1 home run and 1 single in 3 at-bats.

"Nothing fazes Denny," said Kansas City manager Daniel Drucker.
