Twins Outslug Royals

Twins pitcher Eric Milton was perfect for over six innings, and when the Royals finally started hitting, it was too little, too late. Minnesota beat the Royals 13-7. Milton retired the first 20 batters he faced, before Carlos Beltran doubled in the 7th. By then, it was 13-0. Kansas City scored 7 runs in the 8th. Beltran, Jermaine Dye and Mike Sweeney all homered. Royals starter Jay Witasick allowed six runs in 4 and 2/3 innings, and reliever Brad Rigby was pounded for 7 runs in just 1 and a third. Jose Rosado pitches this afternoon against Sean Bergman, as the Royals try to make it three of four from the Twins.
