TWINS 12, ROYALS 8
Nelson Cruz hit his 400th career home run, Miguel Sano connected twice and Minnesota powered past Kansas City to remain four games ahead of Cleveland for the AL Central lead.
Kansas City joined Baltimore, Detroit and Miami with 100 losses, only the second time in major league history there have been four 100-loss teams in one season.
Sano homered in the first and third innings. Sano hit a three-run drive during the big first inning against starter Jorge Lopez (4-9), who lasted just 2 1/3 innings. Zack Littell (6-0) earned the win in relief.
