Kansas City Royals starter Colin Rodgers found his groove in his team's 8-3 win over the Minnesota Twins. The win puts Kansas City at 3-7.

Kansas City left fielder Hervé Masson contributed a timely at-bat in the bottom of the fifth. With two down, he hit a changeup to center field for a run-scoring single. It was his 14th hit of the season and put the Royals ahead, 4-3.

"I just tried to focus on getting that first guy out every inning," said Rodgers.
