ROYALS 8, TWINS 6
Martin Maldonado celebrated Father’s Day by wearing a blue necktie on his chest protector and had three hits to lift the Royals over the Twins.
Maldonado had several names scribbled on the tie, along with ”Happy Father’s Day.” Pittsburgh Pirates backstop Elias Diaz wore the same tie in a game against Atlanta, which appeared to be provided by equipment manufacturer All-Star.
Jorge Lopez (1-6) pitched 2 1/3 innings in relief for the win.
Martin Perez (7-3) surrendered five runs – four earned – in 6 2/3 innings for Minnesota.
