Royals vs Twins July 2026 series

Overview

The Kansas City Royals and Minnesota Twins continued a tightly contested three‑game stretch at the end of July 2026. After a 3‑2 Twins walk‑off triple on July 28, the Royals answered with a 4‑0 shutout on July 29 behind Randy Dobnak’s first win in five years. Two days later, Kody Clemens delivered a dramatic 4‑3 walk‑off grand slam at Target Field, snapping a no‑hit bid and bringing both clubs back to .500 records.

Clemens’ blast traveled 407 feet, marking his second career grand slam and the sixth walk‑off slam in Twins history. Royals left‑hander Noah Cameron pitched eight shutout innings, allowing just one hit and two walks while extending his personal streak to 16 consecutive scoreless innings; he lost a no‑hit bid in the seventh on Ryan Jeffers’ leadoff single. Twins reliever Yoendrys Gómez secured a scoreless ninth.

The win moved Minnesota to a 55‑55 overall record and a 10‑2‑1 run over the last 13 series, while Kansas City fell to 46‑64. The Twins have now captured six of eight games in the series, keeping them within striking distance of an American League wild‑card spot.
