Michael Lorenzen of the Kansas City Royals will undergo an MRI after injuring his left hamstring during a game against the Cleveland Guardians.

Though initially hopeful for a mild injury, he is unlikely to pitch again in the next five days according to manager Matt Quatraro.

After Lorenzen's exit, the Royals' bullpen excelled, allowing no hits to the Guardians' lineup in the game.

Michael Lorenzen of the Kansas City Royals had to leave a game against the Cleveland Guardians due to a left hamstring strain in the second inning.

After initially remaining in the game and even recording a strikeout, he was ultimately replaced by Carlos Hernández.

Lorenzen was traded from Texas on July 29 and was previously enjoying a strong performance in his last game.

Ryan Jeffers homered twice and Carlos Correa added a two-out, bases-clearing triple to lead the Twins to a 7-6 victory over the Royals. They rallied from a four-run deficit for the win.

Jeffers' first home run cut the lead in half, and Correa's triple broke a tie in the sixth inning, securing the win for Minnesota.

Bailey Ober struggled against the Kansas City Royals, allowing nine hits and six runs in a 6-1 loss at Target Field. Ober owns a 7.71 ERA in nine career starts against the Royals, despite good command and no walks in this game. Bobby Witt Jr., Salvador Perez, and Nelson Velázquez homered off of him, contributing to his 19.90 ERA in two starts against Kansas City this year.

After Ober left, Twins relievers combined for four scoreless innings. The Royals eventually won 6-1, despite the Twins taking an early lead against Seth Lugo, who had a strong outing for Kansas City.

Max Kepler struck out with runners on base in a key at-bat. The Twins went 1-for-11 with runners in scoring position, falling short in their comeback attempt against the Royals.

The Twins offense has rebounded, winning six of their last seven games with a patient approach and strong pitching. Byron Buxton's key walk and steal helped secure a 4-2 victory over the Kansas City Royals. Jhoan Duran's save sealed the win after a shaky ninth inning. The offense also capitalized against Cole Ragans, with Jose Miranda delivering a crucial two-run single.
