[ASFN Admin]

Kennys Vargas and Kurt Suzuki each hit a two-run homer, powering the Minnesota Twins past the Kansas City Royals 8-5 Thursday for their first series win this season. Tommy Milone (2-0) picked up his second straight victory for the Twins, recovering from a rough start to log 5 1-3 innings. Lorenzo Cain put the Royals in front with his two-run shot in the first inning, but starter Jason Vargas (1-1) was shelled. Kennys Vargas had the bases loaded with one out in the fourth after Jason Frasor relieved for the Royals, but he tapped one back to the mound for an inning-ending double play.
