The Royals are 15-6 against the Twins at Kauffman Stadium since the beginning of the 2013 season -- the third-best home record by an AL team against another (minimum 15 games) over that span.

Only three of the Twins' last 16 games have been against American League opponents (2-1 vs. White Sox and 5-8 vs. National league over stretch).

Kansas City's 94 straight wins when leading after seven innings is the longest active streak in the majors and the longest streak in franchise history.

The top two spots in the Twins' lineup have hit 26 home runs this season, which matches the home run output from their #3-6 hitters.

Phil Hughes has walked just six batters over his last 10 starts, while receiving at least six runs of support on five occasions during the 10-start stretch.

Brian Dozier leads all MLB second basemen with 156 extra-base hits since the beginning of the 2013 season. Dozier's 14 home runs from the first batting slot in 2015 are tied with Kirby Puckett in 1986 for the most by a Twin from the leadoff spot prior to the All-Star break.

(AP) - The surprising Minnesota Twins, who are in second place in the AL Central, have added a front-line starter for the second half of the season.
Right-hander Ervin Santana has been reinstated after an 80-game drug suspension and is scheduled to start Sunday against the Kansas City Royals and try to give Minnesota a split of its 10-game road swing.

Twins-Royals Preview

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP)  Kyle Gibson threw eight innings of four-hit ball, Danny Santana and Eduardo Escobar had RBI triples, and the Minnesota Twins beat the AL Central-leading Kansas City Royals 2-0 Thursday night.
Gibson (6-6) stranded a pair of runners in the eighth before turning the lead over to Glen Perkins, who remained perfect in 26 save attempts. Perkins is two saves shy of matching Eddie Guardado (116) for third-most in Twins history.
