Ruíz has 3 hits to Power Twins Offense
|
The Minnesota Twins beat the Kansas City Royals, 9-5, at Target Field. José Ruíz starred for Minnesota. He was 3 for 4 with a home run and 2 singles. He scored 2 runs and drove in 4. Dorian Collins got the win, improving to 7-4. He pitched 5 innings, giving up 6 hits and 3 runs, while striking out 5 and walking 3. Jorge Fajardo recorded the save, making him 36 for 39.
Minnesota grabbed the momentum in the bottom of the fifth, when Ruíz hit a 3-run home run off Scott Blewett. His 2nd home run of the season put the Twins out in front, 6-3.
"Hitting is contagious. And when you have a lineup that's going to throw out competitive at-bats one through nine, it makes you want to join in," said Ruíz.
The win lifted the Minnesota record to 61-48.
