Twins Lose Late, 5-3
The Kansas City Royals racked up a win at Metrodome 1983, bumping off the Minnesota Twins, 5-3. Dave LaPoint, who started for Kansas City, pitched effectively for his team. Sandy Wihtol converted his 3rd save in 3 tries. Kansas City now sits in 6th place in the American League West Division at 27-29.

Kansas City used the clutch hitting of Alvin Davis to capture the win. The first baseman drilled a run-scoring double in the top of the ninth inning to give the Royals the lead, 4-3. For the game, Davis had 1 single and 1 double in 3 at-bats.

"The key at this level is throwing strike one," said LaPoint. "Successful pitchers do it."
