Jones Throws 5-Hitter En Route to 12-1 Royals Win
The Kansas City Royals knocked off the Minnesota Twins, 12-1. Kansas City starter Bobby J. Jones pitched well enough to earn top player honors. The second-place Royals now have a 4-game winning streak.

Jones, the winner, is now 13-7 after putting the clamps on the Minnesota offense. In 9 innings of work, he gave up 1 earned run on 5 hits, while collecting 5 Ks.

"It's easier to pitch when you get run support," said Jones.
