Bobby Witt Jr. returns from back injury and leads Royals to 8-2 win over Twins
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) --- Bobby Witt Jr. had three hits and two RBIs in his
return to the lineup Tuesday night, leading the Kansas City Royals to an 8-2
victory over the Minnesota Twins.
Witt, who missed two weeks with back tightness, went 3 for 5 with a two-run
double and scored twice. Randy Dobnak (2-0) allowed one run and three hits in
five innings against his former team to help the Royals stop a four-game losing
streak.
Josh Bell homered late for the Twins, who have lost three in a row. They
remained a game behind Cleveland for the final American League playoff spot.
Witt hit a single in his first at-bat and Jac Caglianone followed with another.
Salvador Perez, honored before the game for becoming the franchise's home run
leader, pushed the first run across with a sacrifice fly. Michael Massey added
an RBI double.
