(My Sportsbook) - The Twins have won 11 of their last 14 games including last night's 3-2 victory against the Kansas City Royals in the second-game of a four-game set at the Metrodome. Todd Sears hit a two-run homer in the bottom of the 10th to give Minnesota the win. Bobby Kielty and Doug Mientkiewicz each drove in a run for the Twins, who have won two of their last three. Matt LeCroy and Dustan Mohr each added a pair of hits in the victory. LaTroy Hawkins worked the final two innings and picked up the win. Hawkins (2-0) allowed just one hit and struck out a batter. The Twins will send Rick Reed to the mound today. Reed returns to the rotation after missing his last start with a lower back strain. Reed was forced out of his May 3 start against Boston after 3 1/3 innings because of the injury. He permitted one run on five hits before exiting and failed to earn a decision. For his career, the righthander is 2-0 against KC with a 3.94 ERA in three starts
