Paulo Orlando carries Royals’ offense to 11-4 victory over Twins

The Royals center fielder’s season batting average sat at .334 after Kansas City’s 11-4 victory over the Minnesota Twins on Sunday, but the production would mean nothing if he doesn’t get to 502, the number of plate appearances needed to qualify for a batting title. Orlando was at the heart of the action all afternoon as the Royals erupted for 11 runs — their most since June 18 — and completed their third straight series victory.

About 10,000 people, many adorned in pink attire, hit the streets of Kansas City as part of the Susan G. Komen Greater Kansas City Race for the Cure. The event raises awareness and funds in the fight against breast cancer. This year marks the 23rd year for the event, which includes a 5K run, 1-mile run/walk, survivor parade and expo. Executive director Carli Good said the event Sunday hoped to raise nearly $1 million in the fight against breast cancer. Video by Tammy Ljungblad/The Star.
