Alex Gordon had a two-run double and Lucas Duda added an RBI single as the Royals jumped on Jake Odorizzi in the first inning and beat the Minnesota Twins 4-1 Thursday night.
Odorizzi has given up eight runs in two starts against Kansas City while allowing 15 runs in 13 starts against other teams.
Odorizzi (10-3) came in tied with Chicago White Sox pitcher Lucas Giolito for the major league lead in wins, but lasted just four innings. He gave up four runs and eight hits with one walk and two strikeouts.
Jorge Polanco homered with one out in the first for the Twins only run.
