Twins Win, 4-3, at Kansas City
Kansas City left fielder Jeffrey Leonard had a good game, even if his team did not. The Royals dropped a 4-3 decision to Minnesota at Royals Stadium 1973. Leonard went 2 for 4 with 2 home runs. He drove in 3 runs and scored twice. Phil Niekro picked up the win with 5 innings of work. He allowed 2 runs on 4 hits, while walking 0 and striking out 3. On the season, he is now 4-1. Mark Fidrych notched his 3rd save in 4 chances.

Who knows how it might've ended, had it not been for Randy Edwards? The Minnesota designated hitter had a 2-run single in the top of the fifth inning to put the Twins on top, 4-2. For the game, Edwards had 1 double and 1 single in 4 at-bats.

"I'm just happy to help the team win," Edwards told the Minnesota Observer.

Minnesota, at 88-55, is 3 games up in the American League West Division.
