Twins pitcher Trevor May allowed five runs on eight hits in Minnesota's 12-3 blowout loss to the Royals Monday.
May, who lasted 5 1/3 innings with four strikeouts in the start, surrendered a solo home run in the second to Kendrys Morales. May then ran into more problems in the third when he surrendered three singles and a sacrifice fly to extended Kansas City's lead.
May was then tagged for three consecutive hits to open the sixth inning, including two doubles to Lorenzo Cain and Eric Hosmer before he was pulled. May's ERA ballooned to 8.44 and he will look for his first win of the year Sunday against the Indians.
