KANSAS CITY -- For the Twins, it was finally a day to smile about a game at Kauffman Stadium.
Minnesota's eight-game losing streak in the Royals' ballpark came to an end as the bats got busy, and right-hander Kyle Gibson kept making Kansas City hitters put the ball in play to earn their way on base in a 9-6 victory.
Jorge Polanco put the Twins on top for good when he snapped a 5-5 tie with a homer leading off the sixth. That drive was part of a four-hit day for Polanco, and it marked the first time he accomplished that feat since Aug.
