5-4: Twins Outlast Kansas City, Now Half a Game Back of Detroit

The Royals managed to score three runs off Minnesota’s bullpen in the 8th inning to tie up the score at 4, but Michael Cuddyer responded in the bottom half of the inning with a solo shot, and the Twins held on to a 5-4 win.Closer Joe Nathan struck out two in the ninth inning to pick up his 47th save of the year. Now, the state of Minnesota huddles around its television*. The Tigers host the White Sox at 7:15 p.m, and if they lose, the AL Central is tied heading into tomorrow.

*The state of Minnesota may well be home to more than one television. I’ve never been there.
