Twins Sweep Royals to Take Lead in AL West
Gene Larkin's one out 10th inning single lifted the Minnesota Twins to a 4-3 win over the Kansas City Royals, giving Minnesota sole possession of first in the American League West. Gagne opened the rally with a leadoff single, then Larkin's hit scored the decisive run as Bo Jackson's relay throw was off line. The triumph capped a five game winning streak for Minnesota, who also benefited from Leibrandt's early trouble and Reardon's two scoreless innings in relief.
