Strong All Around Victory for the Royals as they move to 6-1

The Royals opened it up in Minnesota monday with a victory over the second placed Twins (4-3), a strong offensive outburst from Kendrys Morales helped pace the Royals as he notched his first round tripper of the year. Danny Duffy had a strong outing for his second victory of the season; the biggest story of the day was Brandon Finnegan coming in and providing two and two thirds innings of relief only allowing one run to a Twins offense that got hot in the late innings. Greg Holland came in for the 9th and slammed the door by setting Minnesota down 1-2-3 for his 4th save this season.
