Baseball Betting Lines
07/26/2010 - Kansas City, MO (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Joe Mauer went 5-for-5 with a career-high seven RBI and Danny Valencia hit a grand slam for his first career home run, as the Twins pounded Kansas City, 19-1, in the opener of a three-game series.
Valencia was 4-for-4 with four RBI, doubling twice and scoring four times. Both he and Mauer fell only a triple shy of the cycle. Alexi Casilla knocked in three runs and scored three, while Delmon Young went 4-for-6 with an RBI as part of a season-high 20-hit attack.
The 19 runs were also a season high and came on the heels of a 19-hit, 10-4 win versus Baltimore Sunday in which Jason Kubel belted a grand slam. Kubel added two RBI in Monday's blowout.
Francisco Liriano (9-7) won his third straight start behind all the support while Minnesota has won five of six overall.
