The Minnesota Twins defeat the Kansas City Royals 3-2 on Tuesday night, completing a rally that ends with Royce Lewis’ walk-off hit. With the game tied entering the bottom of the ninth, Lewis hits a two-run triple with two outs to give the Twins the lead and the win.
Minnesota starting pitcher Taj Bradley delivers another strong outing, allowing two runs over six innings while giving up three hits and striking out 10. The Twins’ offense also produces key runs earlier in the game: Kody Clemens doubles for Minnesota in the fourth and scores on a Josh Bell single.
The Twins improve to 54-54 and extend their recent momentum, winning three straight and five of their last six games. The game includes an injury-related development in Minnesota, as Byron Buxton exits with a sore hip during the contest, though the Twins still complete the comeback in the late innings. The Royals fall just short despite their ability to keep the score close throughout.
