Dozier rides walk-off magic to All-Star bid

KANSAS CITY -- Right-hander Ervin Santana couldn't have been much sharper in his return from his 80-game suspension for the use of a performance-enhancing drug, but familiar problems plagued the Twins on Sunday.

Santana went eight innings, giving up two runs on just three hits, but the Twins went 1-for-9 with runners in scoring position and the bullpen gave up a walk-off RBI double to Eric Hosmer in a 3-2 loss to get saddled with a series split against the Royals at Kauffman Stadium.
