Kansas City, MO — (Sports Network) - Justin Morneau continued his hot hitting, homering for a third straight contest, as the Twins edged the Kansas City Royals, 2-1, in the middle portion of a three-game series.

Michael Cuddyer provided the go-ahead run with a sacrifice fly in the sixth inning, as Minnesota won for the fourth time in six games.

Scott Baker (6-6) threw 111 pitches and lasted five innings to get the victory. The right-hander surrendered five hits and a run to win his fourth consecutive decision over his last six outings.

“Sometimes you’re going to have nights like tonight where it’s just a constant grind,” said Baker. “Basically you’ll stay on top of things and do the best you can.”
