Coming off three consecutive victories, the Royals entered Sunday with a chance to sweep the division-leading Minnesota Twins. Fueled by a gutsy start from Brady Singer, Kansas City defeated the Twins, 4-2.
In the top of the first, Singer was helped out by seven-time Gold Glove winner Alex Gordon. On a sinking line drive off the bat of Nelson Cruz, Gordon dove head first and took away extra bases from the 40-year-old slugger.
Similar to Saturday night, Kansas City didn’t waste time jumping on a Twins starter. Hunter Dozier, who was reinstated from the injured list this morning, pounded a 1-1 fastball back up the middle to plate two runs.
