The Kansas City Royals improved to 56-59 with their 7-3 win, and remain 10 games behind the Cleveland Indians in the AL Central. The Twins fell to 46-70 and remain in last place in the Central.
Last Saturday the KC Royals strength coordinator rescued a massive praying mantis from the clubhouse trash. Outfielder Billy Burns put him on the rail and the Royals ended up winning while scoring more than three runs for the first time in 10 games. The Kansas City Royals have gone 5-1 since the arrival of the pet that fans dubbed #RallyMantis on Twitter.
