Hey Royals fans! What a thrilling game we had last night at Kauffman Stadium, where our Kansas City Royals took down the Boston Red Sox with a stunning 8-4 win. Let's break down the action.
Starting Strong: Witt Jr. Sets the Tone
We got off to a fantastic start with Bobby Witt Jr. smashing a solo homer to left in the bottom of the 1st inning, giving us the early lead. That was just the beginning!
Solid Pitching Holds the Red Sox
Our pitching staff did a great job keeping the Red Sox bats quiet early on. Big props to our pitchers for maintaining the pressure.
The Red Sox Fight Back, but Not for Long 
Things got tense in the 3rd inning when Romy González launched a three-run homer, putting Boston up 3-2. Then, in the 4th inning, Danny Jansen added a solo shot to extend their lead to 4-2. But we didn't let that dampen our spirits.
The 4th Inning: Royals Roar Back! 
The bottom of the 4th was full of fireworks! MJ Melendez walked, followed by a single from Maikel Garcia. Melendez scored on a wild pitch, and then Witt Jr. doubled to right, driving in Massey and Garcia to retake the lead 5-4. Vinnie Pasquantino then crushed a two-run homer to right, making it 7-4. What an inning!
Crushing It: Witt Jr. Does It Again 
In the bottom of the 6th, Witt Jr. padded our lead with another solo homer, this time to center, making it 8-4. Two homers in one game! This guy was on fire!
Closing It Out
