MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Zebby Matthews threw five crisp innings to win his major league debut for the Minnesota Twins, who hit Seth Lugo hard to hand the All-Star right-hander his worst start this season and beat the Kansas City Royals 13-3. Matthews allowed two runs on five hits with no walks and five strikeouts in the latest and most meaningful feat for the 24-year-old righty who started the season in Class A. The Twins had three homers and eight extra-base hits among 15 hits. Jose Miranda had three hits and two RBIs and Matt Wallner had three runs plus two hits and a walk.
