The Kansas City Royals defeated the Minnesota Twins 4-0 last night.
The game featured a masterful pitching performance from Randy Dobnak, who tossed seven scoreless innings to earn his first MLB win in more than five years.
Kansas City got offense from Tyler Tolbert’s solo homer, Salvador Perez’s run after a triple, and RBIs from Carter Jensen and Jac Caglianone.
The bullpen finished the shutout, while Twins starter Joe Ryan allowed four runs over six innings in the loss.
The St. Louis Cardinals defeated the Chicago Cubs 3-2 in a dramatic 10-inning thriller at Busch Stadium.
The game stayed completely scoreless through the first nine innings due to dominant starting pitching.
The offenses finally erupted in the 10th:
After Pete Crow-Armstrong’s two-run homer gave Chicago a late lead, St. Louis answered with an RBI groundout before Iván Herrera delivered a two-run walk-off double.
Both starters, Dustin May and Matthew Boyd, were outstanding, combining for 12 scoreless innings before the extra-inning drama.
