Gil Meche pitched well last night (7 IP, 2 ER, 1 BB, 6 K), but Scott Baker pitched better, giving up just one earned run in eight innings. The game moved along at lightening speed (2 hours, 18 minutes), and the Royals couldn't find a way to break through. They only managed to get two hits for the evening. Mark Grudzielanek drove in the only run of the game for the Royals in the fourth inning.

Tonight, Jorge De La Rosa (8-10, 5.35) will go up against Carlos Silva (8-11, 4.76). De La Rosa is 1-3 in his career against the Twins with a 4.74 ERA. Silva is 3-2 against the Royals with a 4.18 ERA.
