Kansas City Get 13-1 Win Behind Lefty Neagle
Minnesota had no answer for Kansas City Royals starter Denny Neagle, who flummoxed Twins hitters as the Royals cruised to a 13-1 victory. The first-place Royals now have a 4-game winning streak.

Neagle gave Kansas City a solid start. The left-hander allowed 1 run on 4 hits over 9 innings.

"The Royals definitely had our number," said Minnesota manager Darren Fischbach.
