Buxton and Solano homered back-to-back in the fifth inning.
Kenta Maeda was excellent on the mound, striking out nine Royals over seven innings. The only damage against him was Bobby Witt Jr.’s two-run homer in the fourth inning.
The Twins are now 44-43, one-and-a-half games ahead of Cleveland pending Cleveland’s outcome Tuesday night against the Braves.
