Both teams hit some homeruns...and doubles - 22 hits between 'em. In the end, the Royals did just enough against Twins pitching to eek out a "W".

Positive note - after going a very long stretch of the season without a HR, Mountie has doubled his HR total in the last 10 games to 4. Trader Clete now has 3 on the year...le sigh.

In other news and to much less fanfare - the NHL held it's draft. Colorado selected 17-year-old center Nathan MacKinnon with the first overall pick.

More on what the Wild did below.

Minnesota did not have a first round pick due to the late season acquisition of Jason Pominville. They did, however, manage to land some first round talent trading fan favorite Cal Clutterbuck and a third round pick (#70 overall) to the New York Islanders for forward Nino Niederreiter - selected 5th overall in the 2010 draft.

They also sent defenseman Justin Falk to the New York Rangers for restricted free-agent forward Benn Ferriero and a sixth-round pick.

In the second round, they took defenseman Gustav Olofsson, with the #46 pick overall.

Last week, the Wild signed goalie Niklas Backstrom to a 3-year contract worth $10.25 million.
