Delmon Young had a three-run homer and the Minnesota Twins finished off a three-game sweep of the Kansas City Royals with a 6-4 Wednesday. Jason Repko also homered for the Twins, who hit 12 during a 6-1 road trip to Baltimore and KC to stay on the heels of the Chicago White Sox in the AL Central. The Royals, who set a team record by allowing 42 runs and 53 hits in the three previous games, lost for 13th time in 16 games. Brian Duensing (4-1) went six innings and gave up two runs on eight hits. Brian Bannister (7-10) lost his fifth straight decision, going six innings plus one batter and allowing five runs on 11 hits. Jon Rauch pitched the ninth for his 21st save in 25 chances. The Royals will now play a four-game series with the Orioles. The opener is Thursday night at 7:10 p.m. at Kauffman Stadium.
