MINNEAPOLIS -- Jose Berrios showed why he was named an All-Star for the first time in his career, throwing seven strong innings, while Eddie Rosario and Eduardo Escobar showed why they're also deserving of All-Star consideration, helping spark a seventh-inning comeback to lift the Twins to a 3-1 win over the Royals in the series opener Monday night at Target Field. It stretched Minnesota's win streak to five games, while extending Kansas City's losing streak to 10 games.
Berrios, named the club's lone All-Star representative on Sunday, scattered six hits and a run with eight strikeouts to improve to 9-7 with a 3.
