5 Straight Wins for Royals
Kansas City center fielder Armando Rios made his presence felt in the 8-6 Royals triumph over the Minnesota Twins. Rios was 2 for 4 with a home run and a walk, while scoring 2 runs and driving in 4. The second-place Royals now have a 5-game winning streak.

Kansas City used the bat of Phil Plantier to get the win. The designated hitter hammered a 2-run home run in the top of the 11th inning to put the Royals ahead, 8-6. It was his lone hit in 5 at-bats, but it did its damage.

"Our team showed some gumption," said Rios. "I like it."
