Royals Win at Home, 4-1
Kansas City Royals starter Kevin Martin hurled his team past the Minnesota Twins, 4-1. The winner was Martin. He threw 7.0 innings of 5-hit ball. The loser was Chris Ford. Ken Giles earned the save for Kansas City, his 32nd.

Kansas City took a 4-1 lead on Wilfredo Rodriguez's 4th home run of the season. The 2-run home run, which Rodriguez hit in the bottom of the seventh, left Minnesota pitcher Anastasio López visibly frustrated.

"All my pitches were working," said Martin. "They were all synchronized together in attacking the zone."

The slumping Twins have dropped 7 in a row.
