Phil Roof hit his first two homers of the season to enable the Twins to defeat the Royals, 3-2. After the catcher's first blow broke a 1-1 tie in the second inning, Steve Hovley hit his first homer of the season for the Royals to forge a new deadlock in the third. Roof then homered again for the winning run in the fourth.
