Mahle, making just his third start since being acquired at the trade deadline, left Wednesday's game in the third inning with "fatigue" in his pitching shoulder, the Twins announced. But their bullpen finished off Minnesota's second straight shutout of Kansas City, and completed a sweep of the Royals, too, with a 4-0 victory.
