Royals Stumble, Lose to Twins
|
Kansas City had no answer for Minnesota Twins starter Henry Hirsch, who flummoxed Royals hitters as the Twins cruised to victory, 8-1. The winning pitcher was Hirsch, now 2-6. He tossed 5.2 innings of 3-hit ball, while walking 1 and fanning 3. The Twins sit in last place in the American League Central Division with a record of 49-66.
Magneuris Sierra had a nice at-bat for the Twins with one out in the bottom of the second. With runners on 2nd and 3rd, the center fielder reached on an error by the 2B, driving in 2 runs, which would prove important in the Minnesota win.
"We did more than enough to get the win," said Hirsch.
