KANSAS CITY, Mo. Devin Booker Jersey . -- The Kansas City Royals conjured up a little more late-game magic Wednesday night. This time, they didnt wait until the ninth inning. Shut down most of the night by the Twins Phil Hughes, the Royals finally broke through with six runs in the eighth. Nori Aoki drove in the go-ahead run, and Billy Butler and Salvador Perez each drove in a pair during the surge, sending the Royals to a 6-1 victory. "Thats kind of who we are," Royals manager Ned Yost said. "Were a team that plays with a lot of heart, with a lot of energy and a lot of passion." In the series opener, the Royals were shut out until the ninth inning, when Alex Gordon hit a two-run homer for a 2-1 win. This time, it was a series of bloopers and infield singles that gave Kansas City the offence it needed in the waning innings. "Were just living on a high right now," said Jarrod Dyson, whose bunt single scored the tying run. "Were going out and having fun and playing like were 5 years old." Wade Davis (8-2) pitched a perfect eighth for the win, helping the Royals extend their lead over Detroit to 2 1/2 games in the AL Central. They have won 11 of their past 13 at home. Minnesota has lost four straight and eight of 11 overall. "Weve scored two runs in two games here," Twins manager Ron Gardenhire said. "Thats not going to win very many games." The Royals big rally began when Raul Ibanez led off the eighth with a blooper to right, and Mike Moustakas beat out an infield hit with a dive to first base. Two batters later, Dysons bunt allowed pinch runner Lorenzo Cain to slide home and knot the game 1-1. Aoki followed with a slicing single to left field to give the Royals the lead, and Butler and Perez added four more runs with two well-timed hits to provide plenty of cushion. "I can remember probably two hard-hit balls tonight. Thats how baseball is going to go," Hughes said. "Thats a team over there that finds a way and battles." Most of the game had been an entertaining duel between Hughes (14-9), who had won his last four starts, and Liam Hendriks, a former Twins pitcher making his Royals debut. Hughes gave up singles in each of the first two innings before finding his groove, allowing one other baserunner until his fateful eighth. Hendriks retired the first 14 batters he faced, and never ran into trouble until Kennys Vargas singled with one out in the seventh. Oswaldo Arcia followed with a double off the wall to give Minnesota a 1-0 lead. Hendriks, making a spot start for ailing Yordano Ventura, finished out the inning without any more damage. The Australian wound up allowing four hits while striking out five without a walk. "That was awesome," he said. "It was a good way to start off in Kansas City." CROWD BUILDS There was a crowd of 17,668 on hand, about 4,000 more than for the series opener. Yost had mentioned the sparse attendance Tuesday night, and he applauded the energy showed by the fans that turned out Wednesday. "It was electric," Yost said. LATE-GAME BLUES The Twins had been 41-2 when taking a lead into the eighth inning. Now, they have lost two straight in such fashion. "Weve got two pretty good starts back-to-back nights and havent found a way to win," Hughes said. "Those are games you really hope you can take."

TSN.ca looks at the days hottest off-season rumors and speculations. Melk No Longer in Bags? The Melky Cabrera era in Toronto may indeed be over, as it seems the left fielder’s preference may be to sign with another team. According to ESPN’s Buster Olney, Cabrera is no longer keen on playing his home games on the artificial turf at Rogers Centre. After an injury-plagued 2013 season, the 30-year old enjoyed a 2014 season where he hit 16 homers, knocked in 73 while batting .301 in 139 games. Should Cabrera move on and the Jays not sign or trade for another outfielder, the team will likely platoon Andy Dirks and Kevin Pillar in left field to start the season. Trumbo Flying Away? With the Arizona Diamondbacks snagging Cuban outfielder Yasmany Tomas to a six-year, $68.5 million contract, the team may look to ship out another slugging outfielder to help bolster their lineup. Mark Trumbbo may be dealt, reports ESPN’s David Schoenfield, and there are plenty of teams who could be interested including the Miami Marlins, Seattle Mariners, Kansas City Royals, Tampa Bay Rays and Texas Rangers. Suns Jerseys China. . Arizona will be looking for young pitching prospects or major-league ready arms in any deal for Trumbo, who can also play first base. The 28-year old only played 88 games last season hitting .235 with 14 dingers. Master of the Central? Starter Justin Masterson may be looking to return to the American League in the familiar Central Division, where he played for the Cleveland Indians from 2009-2014.
