Todd Sears also collected two hits and added an RBI for the Twins, who not only swept this series, but have also won five out of their last six games overall.

LaTroy Hawkins (3-0) earned the win after pitching 1 2/3 innings of scoreless ball before Eddie Guardado struck out three in the ninth to pick up his 10th save of the year.

Combined with the Royals' loss to Toronto, the Twins moved into first place in the AL Central for the first time this season.
