Mauer solves Greinke as Royals fall to Twins Cy Young stats watch

MINNEAPOLIS | Let’s start by working backward: The decisive blow Saturday afternoon was Michael Cuddyer’s tie-breaking homer in the eighth inning that carried the Minnesota Twins to a 5-4 victory over the Royals at the Metrodome. It was a no-doubt, one-out drive to left against rookie reliever Dusty Hughes, and it means the Twins will enter today, the season’s final day, with their postseason aspirations still intact.
