The Royals also took Game 2 of the series against the Twins, opening the scoring early and knocking Minnesota's ace, Joe Ryan, off the mound. By the seventh inning, Game 2 was 12-1 in favor of Kansas City, who will look to complete their first sweep of the year on Thursday.
Kauffman Stadium experienced a light drizzle on Wednesday that created a heavy fog in the early innings. The Twins didn't look comfortable, and Lewis dropped a fly ball at third base, a prelude to the blowout that was to come. The Royals modified the stadium during the offseason, moving the outfield walls closer together and lowering the mound to make it more hitter-friendly.
This change is timely for the Royals' offense, which looks set to be potent. Maikel García solidified his position at third base, Witt Jr. remains the franchise player, Pasquantino brings power, and Pérez adds experience; all of them contributed hits in yesterday's lopsided victory.

Our Kansas City Royals vs Minnesota Twins Prediction
Analysts weren't overly optimistic about the Twins' 2026 season, but the first week of action offered clues that they might even finish below the disastrous White Sox this season, who at least are hitting.
Betting sites have the Royals at -150 odds to sweep on Thursday when Cole Ragans takes the mound; the 28-year-old left-hander has extensive experience facing Minnesota and could easily dominate a struggling offense.
Our prediction for Royals vs Twins is: Royals +1.5.
All tips are fully researched and given in good faith, but profits cannot be guaranteed.
