MINNEAPOLIS -- The home runs keep coming for Brian Dozier. And so do the losses for the Minnesota Twins.Dozier hit his 39th homer of the season, tying him with Alfonso Soriano for most in a season by an American League second baseman, but the Kansas City Royals scored seven runs in the ninth inning to beat the Twins 10-3 on Tuesday night.Similar script, Twins manager Paul Molitor said. We made it interesting longer.Molitor was talking more about the struggles of an overworked bullpen, but he could have easily been referring to Doziers brilliance coming in vain. He has 25 home runs since the All-Star break. Three of those were hit as a DH, but his 22 as a second baseman surpassed Hall of Famer Joe Gordons 21 for the most ever by an American League second baseman. But the Twins are just 2-17 in their last 19 games and have sunk to the worst record in the majors.Dozier was gone by the time reporters entered the clubhouse after the game.Its kind of like a video game, Molitor said. Its impressive to watch.Kendrys Morales did Dozier one better, hitting two homers and driving in five runs for the Royals. His second of the game was a three-run blast in Kansas Citys seven-run ninth inning. Another former Twin, Drew Butera, broke open the 3-3 tie with a bases loaded single earlier in the ninth inning off Brandon Kintzler (0-2).They dont give you any chance, said Twins starter Ervin Santana, who gave up three runs and three hits in six innings. They fight every at-bat and they do a lot of damage.Dozier has homered in five straight games, tying him with Harmon Killebrew and Marty Cordova for the longest streak in Twins history.After going deep three times in a loss to the Royals on Monday night, Dozier led off the game on Tuesday with a 395-foot blast off Dillon Gee into the second deck in left field. It was Doziers 76th extra-base hit of the season, which already puts him in second place in Twins history, with Tony Olivas 84 in 1964 atop the list.Only Atlantas Davey Johnson (42) in 1973, Hornsby (42) in 1922 and Cubs great Ryne Sandberg (40) in 1990 have hit more in a homers season as second basemen.Trevor Plouffe and Eddie Rosario also homered for the Twins, who won for the third time in their last 19 games.ROSTER MOVESRoyals: Recalled INF Christian Colon and selected the contracts of OF Daniel Nava and RHP Kevin McCarthy from Triple-A Omaha. OF Reymond Fuentes and RHP Nick Tepesch were designated for assignment to make room.Twins: Recalled RHP Tyler Duffey, 1B Kennys Vargas and INF James Beresford from Triple-A Rochester. Molitor said Duffey would return to the starting rotation on Friday against Cleveland.BERESFORDS MOMENTBeresford was signed by the Twins as a 16-year-old out of Australia 12 years ago and appeared in 1,070 career games in the minor leagues before finally being called up on Tuesday. Phillies minor leaguer Christian Marrero (1,126) and Giants minor leaguer Juan Ciriaco (1,075) are the only active players who have played more minor league games without appearing in the big leagues, the Twins said.Several Twins players wore green t-shirts with a yellow kangaroo on it and four stars, one for each of Beresfords career homers. The kangaroo is swinging a newspaper, a playful jab at Beresfords lack of power.Today it changes everything. It changes my life, Beresford said. Id go through another 10 years (in the minors) just to spend another day like this.TRAINERS ROOMRoyals: OF Lorenzo Cain missed his sixth straight game because of left wrist inflammation. He is listed as day to day.Twins: Plouffe had to leave the game in the middle of an at-bat in the eighth inning with a left oblique strain. Plouffe left after falling behind 1-2 and was replaced by Vargas. ... LHP Tommy Milone (left biceps) and RHP Trevor May (back) threw simulated games on Tuesday. Molitor said both would likely be activated on Friday.UP NEXTThe Royals send LHP Danny Duffy (11-2, 3.13) to the mound to face Twins RHP Kyle Gibson (5-9, 5.31) in the series finale. Duffy has been dominant for most of the season, but has allowed at least eight hits in three straight starts. Gibson has been largely disappointing in his Twins career, but is 5-4 with a 3.10 ERA in 10 career starts against Kansas City.

Fast bowler Nathan Coulter-Nile has been ruled out of the remainder of Australias tour of Sri Lanka with an injury to his lower back. Australia have named a 13-man squad for the two T20s that round out the tour, with wicketkeeper Peter Nevill retaining his place and allrounder Glenn Maxwell and batsman Chris Lynn set to join the group.But Coulter-Nile, who played in all four of Australias matches at the World T20 in India earlier this year, will not be part of the series and will instead fly home to have his injury assessed. Coulter-Nile has been in Sri Lanka since the start of the tour as part of the Test and ODI squads but has not played a match.Nathan had been experiencing a gradual increase in lower back pain which is now preventing him from bowling at match intensity, Australias physiotherapist David Beakley said. He will now return to Perth for further investigation which will determine the extent of the injury and possible return to play timelines.Coulter-Nile will not officially be replaced in the ODI squad for the remaining three matches, with the selectors comfortable that enough cover is already present. Scott Boland and John Hastings, who are in the T20 squad, have arrived in Sri Lanka early and are travelling with the ODI team and could be called on if fast-bowling cover is needed.Maxwell, who was dropped from the ODI squad due to disappointing batting form, will get aa chance to impress in the two T20s alongside Lynn, who has played five T20s for his country.ddddddddddddoth Chris and Glenn are dynamic players who are both capable of winning a game from their own bat and they also bring that x-factor in the field, national selector Rod Marsh said.Matthew Wade had been Australias preferred gloveman in the T20 format until the selectors sprung a surprise by installing Test wicketkeeper Nevill for the World T20 in India earlier this year. Wade remains the incumbent ODI keeper, and scored a career-best 76 in the second ODI against Sri Lanka in Colombo on Wednesday, but Nevill remains the choice for T20s.Peter is the incumbent wicket-keeper in the T20 side and had a very good World T20 for Australia, the panel wanted to keep that consistency heading into these two matches, Marsh said.Australia play Sri Lanka in two T20s in Pallekele and Colombo on September 6 and 9. David Warner will captain the side in the absence of Steven Smith, who is flying home to rest ahead of the upcoming tour of South Africa and a busy home summer.Squad David Warner (capt), Aaron Finch, Shaun Marsh, Travis Head, Chris Lynn, Glenn Maxwell, Moises Henriques, Peter Nevill (wk), James Faulkner, John Hastings, Mitchell Starc, Adam Zampa, Scott Boland.
