Twins-Royals Preview

(AP) -- While their pitching staff has started to build some confidence, the Kansas City Royals have put together their longest winning streak of the young season.

They'll try to extend that run while exacting some revenge on a Minnesota Twins team that swept them last weekend.

Kansas City goes for its fourth straight victory Friday night when it opens a three-game home set against the Twins, who seek their sixth win in seven games after a rough start.
