MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. - The Kansas City Royals beat the Minnesota Twins 8-6 on Sunday afternoon to close out their three game road series claiming their 23rd win on the year.

Martin Maldonado had one of his best offensive games of the season by driving in two runs, one with a single during a three-run second inning and another with a double in the eighth.

Ian Kennedy struck out Nelson Cruz for the Twins in ninth for the final out with a check swing to help close out the game for the Royals.
