MINNEAPOLIS — A week without driving in a run was all Jose Miranda could take.
The rookie infielder, 0-for-6 in his most recent at-bats with runners in scoring position, ended his week of frustration by lining a two-strike curveball from Royals starter Kris Bubic into right field during Monday's fifth inning. It dropped in front of Royals outfielder MJ Melendez, allowing Luis Arraez to score the tying run from third base, and the Twins went on to snap their two-game losing streak with a 4-2 victory at Target Field.
Jorge Polanco followed Miranda's timely hit with a sacrifice fly that brought Carlos Correa home from third, putting the Twins ahead for good.
