The game started strong for us as Michael Massey doubled to right and then swiftly moved to third thanks to a grounded out by Bobby Witt Jr.. The hero early on was Vinnie Pasquantino who singled to right to bring home Massey, marking the first score of the game. Despite Salvador Perez and Yuli Gurriel unable to extend the lead, we went into the bottom of the first feeling optimistic with a 1-0 lead.Orioles Respond and Royals Hang Tough 
The Orioles earned their sole run in the bottom of the 5th when Cedric Mullins homered to right-center. But our boys weren’t going to let that discourage them. In the top of the 6th, the Royals came back strong. Kyle Isbel reached on an infield single, and key plays involving Massey and Witt Jr. allowed us to regain the lead when Isbel crossed home plate. That was impressive execution in clutch moments, giving us a 2-1 lead.Holding on for Victory 
Our pitching bullpen did an outstanding job holding off the Orioles. Intense innings filled with strikeouts, particularly with Schreiber and Long holding tight, and Erceg coming in during the bottom of the 9th to close things out. He got the job done by getting all three outs: Mullins, Urías, and Gunnar Henderson without allowing a run. We showed that fearsome Orioles lineup what we’re made of! It’s wins like these that make us proud to be Royals fans! It was a hard-fought game, but our team's determination paved the way for this sweet victory. Let’s keep this momentum rolling!
