KANSAS CITY, MO. — Adam Everett returns to shortstop, and Mike Redmond replaces Joe Mauer at catcher, as the Twins go for a sweep today against the Royals.

UPDATE: Have I mentioned, it’s cold. This was supposed to be the warm day here. The forecast called for 50 degrees at one point. The game-time temp was 37, and with a 10-mph wind from the north, it was 29 with the wind chill. That makes it the coldest day here yet. Wind chill was 31 on Friday and 33 on Saturday.
