Buxton, Vázquez deliver timely hits as Twins down Royals | Jefferson City News Tribune

KANSAS CITY — Byron Buxton drove in the tying run in the eighth inning, Christian Vázquez drove in the go-ahead run to start off a four-run ninth and the Minnesota Twins rallied for a 5-1 victory Saturday against the Kansas City Royals.

Griffin Jax (1-0), who earned the save on opening day, picked up the win with a scoreless eighth inning for Minnesota. Brock Stewart handled the ninth this time, working around a single by MJ Melendez to put the Twins on the brink of a second straight season-opening sweep of their A.L. Central rivals.
