Ray Corbin posted the first shutout of his major league career and pitched the Twins to a 2-0 victory over the Royals, who were stopped on their five-game winning streak. The Twins scored both their runs in the seventh inning. Singles by Harmon Killebrew, Jim Nettles and Bobby Darwin, with an error by Richie Scheinblum on Darwin's hit, produced the first tally and the second followed on a single by Eric Soderholm.
