Royce Lewis delivered a clutch two-run triple in the bottom of the ninth to lift the Twins to a 3-2 win over the Royals, sparking a three-game winning streak and narrowing the AL Central gap to just two games. The game was a nail-biter, with the Royals briefly taking a 2-1 lead, but Minnesota rallied in the ninth. Center fielder Byron Buxton exited in the fifth with hip soreness — the same issue that sidelined him for the All-Star Game. Royals’ Alex Lange took the loss after surrendering the game-winner, while Jack Anderson, called up from the minors just days prior, earned his first major league win in relief. With Joe Ryan set to start Wednesday, the Twins are riding momentum in a tight division race.
