Torii Hunter's beaning gave the struggling Twins a little spark.
Mike Redmond's run-scoring single in the 11th inning Thursday
gave host Minnesota a 1-0 victory over the Kansas City Royals that
ended their four-game losing streak.
Justin Morneau and Jason Tyner hit back-to-back singles off Todd
Wellemeyer (0-1) with one out in the 11th. Redmond, who hurt his
left shoulder earlier in the game on Tony Pena Jr.'s backswing, then
hit a line drive to right-center field to bring home Morneau.
Juan Rincon (1-0) pitched a scoreless 11th for Minnesota, which
also ended a four-game home losing streak and won for just the
second time in five games against Kansas City this season.
