Royals Get Close Win Over Twins
|
The Royals grabbed a win, 3-2, at Royals Stadium, overcoming a fine effort from Minnesota pitcher Juan Guzman. Guzman went 6 innings and allowed 1 earned run. The Royals, now 23-5, have had a terrific start to the season.
Barry Larkin came through for Kansas City in the bottom of the ninth. With one out, Larkin victimized John Rocker with a 2-run home run. It was his 2nd home run of the season and put Kansas City on top, 3-2.
"It's a thrill to get that kind of win," Larkin said.
