MINNEAPOLIS — Chris Archer made his major league debut six days after Bobby Witt Jr.'s 12th birthday. Who could have imagined the current rookie would celebrate at the former rookie's expense a decade later?
Witt, already a strong AL Rookie of the Year candidate, doubled three times Saturday, twice off the right-hander, and helped the Royals hand the first-place Twins their third loss in four games, 7-3 at Target Field.
Witt has eight hits vs. the Twins this year, with seven for extra bases (five doubles, a triple and a home run).
