Kauffman Stadium was the site for American League action featuring the Kansas City Royals and Minnesota Twins.

Neil Walker, the 34-year old second baseman , had a direct impact on the outcome. Walker contributed a run-scoring walk in the top of the first inning to put Minnesota up, 3-0.

"If I do my job, we've usually got a good chance to win the game," said Walker.
