MINNEAPOLIS -- Eduardo Nunez, Brian Dozier and Miguel Sano homered to help the Twins avoid a sweep at the hands of the Royals with a 7-5 victory in the series finale on Wednesday afternoon at Target Field.
The Twins jumped on right-hander Dillon Gee early, as Nunez and Dozier hit back-to-back homers to open the top of the first. Sano later gave the Twins the lead in the fifth with a two-run shot to knock Gee from the game. Gee lasted four-plus innings, surrendering six runs (five earned) on 10 hits and a walk.
