Dozier went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 4-3 win over the Twins.
Dozier put the Royals ahead for the first time in the bottom of the sixth inning. The 30-year-old slugger made the start at first base with Carlos Santana (undisclosed) out, and he'll likely continue to fill in there as long as the latter is sidelined. For the season, Dozier has two homers, one triple, four RBI, four runs scored and a .290/.313/.548 slash line in 32 plate appearances.
