All four runs came on home runs including Matt Wallner’s first of the season to start the scoring in the top of the second.

Simeon Woods Richardson took the loss giving up five hits and two runs in five innings for work. Minnesota has opened the season 1-3 on the year. Both teams are off today but the series continues on Wednesday with a 6:40 P-M first pitch at Kauffman Stadium.
