Another Sunday game, another rubber match. The Royals and Twins have matching 8-run wins so far in this series. This game won't have to be all that close to be the biggest nail-biter of the series.
Jose Berrios v. Brad Keller
The fact that Alex Kirilloff is already getting comfortable against the Royals fills me with gladness. Here's to many long years of constant dingers against a division rival.

"Alex is too hot -- quick, tell Jake he's in today's lineup!"
All right Simmons!
Its probably to the point that if runners are on base and Buxton hits a dribbler you mind as well put the ball in your hip pocket rather than trying to get him out. It cost the Royals a run there.
Holy smokes GarvSauce that was a BOMB
Awesome tater, there!
Weak leathah!
Looks like our 7 runs ain't going to be enough
87P, Adios JB.
I guess feast or famine is better than famine or famine.
RBI triples are sexy
Yeah, we all know Luis can rake
Beautiful
Donaldson 2X2B, 6ribeyes.
That was a good swing for the contact play.
115 mph off Buxtons bat....whoa
All the XBH
Kirilloff has two of the three true outcomes down...
If Buxton gets one more plate appearance, he'll qualify for leaderboards.
Okay then, I'm calling it early - megaBux
but enough about his contract negotiations!
I don't understand why there was ever a debate about whether Arraez should play everyday.
Not that money should matter, but the Twins are paying good sums to Donaldson, Simmons, and Polanco to play while Arraez is still in serfdom.
33 career total bases against lefties...
It's crazy how good his patience is against lefties though.
27 walks in 160 PA versus 31 walks in 422 PA against righties
Only his third extra base hit against a lefty ever today.
I am starting to warm to this Kirilloff fellow.
Kirilloff hit it into Edwin Encarnacion territory
That might have officially put this game outside of the Colome danger zone.
Royals already having nightmares about Kirilloff.
Fills me with gladness, it does.
Puppies!
I thought it was bad that CJ Cron was still shown in a TC cap in his MLB mugshot, but Donaldson is still in a Braves cap. Seriously?
I got to listen to innings 5-8 in the car yesterday trying to get the girls to take a nap/give mom a quiet house. The little one slept pretty much the entire time, the big one is too good at fighting naps.
