Minnesota at Kansas City

It's doubleheader day in Kansas City with road-weary Minnesota playing its ninth straight road contest in Game 1. They have dropped four of the last five, including an 8-1 loss to the Royals yesterday. Minnesota starter Jose Berrios is off a loss to Boston allowing eight hits and four runs in 6+ innings, throwing 107 pitches -- the second most he's thrown all season. His ERA is almost a full run higher on the road (3.41) than at home. Berrios went 0-1 with a 7.90 ERA in three starts against the Royals last year. The Kansas City Royals are on a 13-5 run to climb within three games of division leading Cleveland. The Royals are 9-3 against a right-handed starter and the Twins are 3-10 at Kansas City. Play Kansas City.
