KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Twins manager Rocco Baldelli leaned forward in his visiting office, turned over his lineup card for opening day against the Royals, and began reading the blue marker scribbled down the back.
It began with Pablo Lopez.
The right-hander dominated Kansas City in his Minnesota debut Thursday, outpitching former Cy Young Award winner Zack Greinke by allowing just two hits while lasting into the sixth inning. Lopez’s bullpen took over from there, holding the Royals without another hit to finish off a 2-0 victory at breezy Kauffman Stadium.
After a day off Friday, Twins RHP Sonny Gray gets the start against Royals RHP Jordan Lyles on Saturday.
