The Rallyin' Royals Return | Royals Come Back to Take Series vs. Twins

Following a series-opening shutout win over the Twins, the Royals looked to clinch the series with a third straight win but would face plenty of adversity. The bats managed just a pair base-runners over the first 7 innings of the game but were kept afloat by the efforts of Alec Marsh giving up just 2 runs over 5.0 frames and a trio of scoreless innings from Daniel Lynch. Trailing by 2 runs with 1 out in the bottom of the 8th inning, the Royals would reach base in each of their next 5 at-bats, with Kyle Isbel breaking through with an RBI single to get on the board. An infield single from Tommy Pham combined with a throwing error would tie the game and set the stage for Bobby Witt Jr. to dump a base hit into center and drive in Isbel to put the Royals on top. MJ Melendez would add an insurance run with an RBI single later in the 8th. Lucas Erceg was called upon to protect the 4-2 lead in the 9th inning and he would respond with a 1-2-3 frame to shut down the Twins, giving the Royals their third-consecutive win and a series win over Minnesota.
