A three-run fourth inning sent the streaking Twins to their fifth straight triumph by a 5-2 score over Kansas City, which dropped its seventh game in the Royals' last nine outings. Doubles by Steve Braun and Larry Hisle accounted for the initial fourth-inning tally. Phil Roof's single scored Hisle and Roof later crossed the plate on Jerry Terrell's infield out.
