The Royals got their run scoring started in the first inning, with Whit Merrifield and doubling and Salvador Perez driving him in with a single. After the Twins tied it up with a home run in the first, the Royals tacked on four runs in the second inning, three combing by way of an Adalberto Mondesi home run.
