KANSAS CITY, Mo (AP) --- Kyle Garlick and Jose Miranda each drove in two runs,
leading Devin Smeltzer and the Minnesota Twins past the Kansas City Royals 6-4
on Friday night.
Garlick put Minnesota on the scoreboard with an RBI single in a three-run first
inning and added a sacrifice fly in the second. He was lifted for a
pinch-hitter in the fourth.
Miranda had two hits, including a two-run double with two outs in the eighth
that made it 6-3.
Smeltzer (1-0) allowed one run and five hits over 5 1/3 innings, throwing 74
pitches in his second major league start this season. He walked one and did not
record a strikeout.
Jhoan Duran worked 1 2/3 hitless innings to set up Emilio Pagn for his sixth
save. Pagn gave up three hits in the ninth, including Emmanuel Rivera's solo
homer.
Carlos Santana also had a solo shot for the Royals.
