Injuries can ruin a fantasy season. 

--LHP Craig Breslow was claimed off waivers from Cleveland, adding a second left-hander to the Twins bullpen. 

MEDICAL WATCH: SS Adam Everett (strained right shoulder) went on the 15-day disabled list for the second time this season May 22. 

The consecutive-game streak, which had reached a major league-high 217 games, didn't mean much to Delmon Young, the Twins' left fielder said after he watched a 5-1 victory over Kansas City from the dugout. 

The Minnesota Twins' four-game winning streak this week has largely been fueled by a three-game sweep of a struggling last-place team. 

If Jose Guillen's profanity-filled tirade was meant to light a fire under the lethargic Kansas City Royals, Kevin Slowey did a good job of dousing the flames. 

The Minnesota Twins claimed left-handed reliever Craig Breslow off waivers, a week after he was let go by the Cleveland Indians.

Delmon Young owns the longest consecutive-game streak in baseball, but Twins manager Ron Gardenhire said that has no bearing when he makes out his lineup. 

--DH Craig Monroe had not played in four days when he was summoned to pinch hit in the ninth inning Wednesday, and he was in an 0-for-17 slump.

This one hit the Kansas City Royals like a sucker punch to the belly, and perhaps planted the seeds of an ugly clubhouse rebellion. 

Justin Morneau hit a leadoff homer in the 10th inning and the Minnesota Twins, after rallying for five runs in the ninth, beat Kansas City 9-8 Wednesday night to stun the reeling Royals with their 10th straight loss.
