The Kansas City Royals scored four runs in the sixth inning to come-from-behind and beat the Twins 7-3 Monday night at Target Field. With 99-losses the Twins need to win their final two games to avoid a 100-loss season.

The Minnesota Twins avoided their 100th loss Tuesday night with a 7-4 victory over the Royals. Chris Parmelee hit a solo home run and Rene Tosoni blasted a grand slam for the Twins.

It took 15 innings and multiple rain delays, but Denard Span's walk-off RBI single gave the Twins a 5-4 win over the Brewers on Sunday. Nick Blackburn pitched six innings before the Twins' bullpen threw nine shutout innings to close the game.

Josh Willingham hit his 34th home run of the season and drove in a pair of runs but it was Trevor Plouffe and Denard Span providing the heroics in the late innings. Plouffe hit a game-tying solo home run in the bottom of the ninth and Denard Span hit a walk-off double in the tenth to give the Twins a 4-3 win.

Simple math shows how easily the Twins could lose 100 games this season. There are 10 games to go. Minnesota needs to go 4-6 to avoid the century mark. Going into tonight's game with Seattle, they've lost nine straight. Add it up, and chances are Twins Territory includes triple digits

The Twins placed Trevor Plouffe on the 15 day disabled list Friday night. He was initially in the lineup, but scratched after his bruised thumb acted up on him during batting practice. The move is retroactive to July 21. Filling the roster spot is Danny Valencia, who was hitting .250 with 7 home runs and 37 RBI at AAA-Rochester.
