The Royals ended a three-game losing skein by scoring a run in the 10th inning to shade the Twins, 4-3. The score was 3-3 when Dave Chalk and Willie Wilson began the 10th with singles. After the runners were sacrificed along by U.L. Washington, Mike Bacsik relieved Jerry Koosman on the mound for the Twins and surrendered the game-winning single to John Wathan. [The Sporting News]
