Royals Crush Twins with Surprise Homers

0:00It's March 31st. This is MLB News today, AI-powered stories from around the league. I'm Cory with the story. Kansas City Royals kicked off their homestand with a solid 3-1 win over the Minnesota Twins, thanks to surprise bombs from Kyle Isbell and Isaac Collins, guys who ain't exactly known for mashing homers. It was a balmy 85 degrees at first pitch, drawing a sell-out crowd of 39,320 to Kaufman Stadium, the first. Game since they pushed the fences in 8-10 feet, all four runs came via long balls, but check this. They all would have cleared the old walls too. Pitching stole the show otherwise, with Chris Buebe grabbing the win after six innings, one run on two hits. John Schreiber locked it down for his first save, while Twin started Simian Woods Richardson took the L, giving up two runs on five hits. Both dudes kept it tight, though walks in traffic piled up. Royal starters are on fire now, third straight going at least six innings with one run or less allowed.

1:03Isbell's second inning Jack answered Minnesota's early lead and Collins crushed his first hit of the year, a 400 footer in the seventh. The series picks back up Wednesday after a Tuesday breather, so Royals looked prime to build momentum early.
