Slegers labors in short outing against Royals
Dozier's solo home run MINNEAPOLIS -- The Twins have had trouble finding a consistent fifth starter in the absence of veteran Ervin Santana this season, as rookie Aaron Slegers couldn't build on his previous strong start in a rough outing against the Royals on Tuesday night at Target Field.
Slegers allowed five runs while recording just four outs in a 9-4 loss that snapped Minnesota's five-game win streak and put an end to Kansas City's 10-game losing skid. It was also the first time the Royals scored more than five runs in a game since June 4, a span of 30 games.
