Luke Keaschall delivered a walk-off two-run homer in the 11th inning as Minnesota beat Kansas City 5-3, marking the Twins’ ninth walk-off win of the year. Keaschall extended his on-base streak to 12 straight games to begin his career, capping a late-inning comeback that rallied past the Royals’ bullpen.

Earlier, Fitzgerald logged his first career hit with a homer, and Jeffers tied it in the eighth after Austin Martin tripled on a misplay by John Rave. Pasquantino’s 20th homer gave KC a 3-2 lead in the seventh, but the Twins answered with a late surge. Tonkin contributed two scoreless frames for Minnesota, while Estévez suffered the defeat.

The Royals also left 15 runners on base and were 1-for-15 with men in scoring position, underscoring a squandered opportunity as Minnesota capitalized when it mattered. The win sets up Monday’s matchups featuring Falter and Cavalli, with Zebby Matthews and Will Warren scheduled to start for Minnesota and New York, respectively.

Home run props are the focus for today's MLB betting, featuring players like Alec Burleson, Brandon Lowe, Vladimir Guerrero Jr., and Maikel Garcia. Burleson has shown impressive power recently, hitting 10 homers this season and enjoying a favorable matchup against Colin Rea, who struggles against left-handed hitters. Lowe, with 19 homers and a solid 1.000 OPS in the last three weeks, faces Chris Paddack. Guerrero Jr. is another strong candidate with 12 homers to his name, looking to capitalize on a weak Angels' bullpen. Garcia, while less prolific, has potential in a hitter-friendly park.

The first half of the MLB season has showcased impressive breakout performances, particularly among players with pre-season ADPs outside the top 100. Hunter Goodman of the Colorado Rockies has emerged as a notable catcher with a strong offensive showing, boasting a .287 average and 14 home runs. Meanwhile, Jonathan Aranda of the Tampa Bay Rays has surprised many with his .330 average and ability to hit left-handed pitching effectively. Brandon Lowe has returned to form, ranking among the best second basemen with 17 home runs. Eugenio Suarez has continued his power surge with 25 homers for the Arizona Diamondbacks, and Jeremy Peña of the Houston Astros has proven to be a valuable shortstop with a potent combination of speed and power. Each player’s current production raises questions about sustainability, making them key figures in fantasy baseball discussions as the season progresses.

Patrick Mahomes has thrown his weight behind Maikel Garcia, urging fans to vote for the Kansas City Royals' third baseman for the 2025 MLB All-Star Game. The endorsement comes as Garcia enjoys a breakout season, leading Royals hitters with a .318 average, eight home runs, and 36 RBIs. His recent impressive performance against the Texas Rangers included a three-run homer that powered the Royals to a 6-3 victory. Mahomes, a baseball aficionado with a pitching background, hopes his support will boost Garcia's All-Star candidacy.
