The Minnesota Twins and Kansas City Royals cranked it up at Metrodome.

With left fielder Ray Lankford leading the charge, the Kansas City Royals defeated the Minnesota Twins, 12-3, at Metrodome. Lankford, who led the FL in triples with 13 in 1994, went 1 for 3 with a home run and 3 walks. He scored 2 times and drove in 3. The Twins, at 66-71, have lost 5 in a row.

The Royals picked up the win with a combination of good hitting and good pitching.

"If it's down the middle," said Lankford, "you might as well hit it."
