Ponson looks for redemption against Royals

Apr 25, 2007 - 2:47 PM Kansas City (6-13) at Minnesota (11-9) 8:10 pm EDT

MINNEAPOLIS (Ticker) -- Sidney Ponson is looking for better results this time around against the Kansas City Royals.

Ponson (1-2, 9.39) makes his second consecutive start against Kansas City on Wednesday in the first game of a two-game series.

The 250-pound righthander was knocked around in his last outing vs. the Royals, allowing six runs and 10 hits in 4 1/3 innings in a 11-7 loss last Friday.

Ponson will be opposed again by Odalis Perez (1-2, 8.64), who picked up his first win of the season in that game. Perez yielded four runs and seven hits in five innings.

The Twins have been struggling offensively, scoring just two runs in each of their last two losses.

The Royals were swept in a two-game series by the Chicago White Sox.
