4-3: Gordon Smashes 2-Run Homer, Twins Fans Sound Nervous

The difference between a 4-1 score and a 4-3 score seems bigger than two runs, especially when the score changes from the former to the latter in the eighth inning. The Royals’ Alex Gordon hit a two-run home run off Jose Mijares, who relieved Nick Blackburn at the start of the inning. Minnesota leads, 4-3.After surrendering four runs in six innings, Zack Greinke was also pulled.
