Royals 11, Twins 2
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Alex Gordon hit a three-run homer in an eight-run eighth and Nate Adcock, a Rule 5 pick who had never pitched above Class A before this season, picked up his first big-league win for the Royals. Kansas City sent 12 men to the plate in the eighth and scored all eight runs with two outs. Six were unearned thanks to first baseman Justin Morneau's error.
