Our starter kept the Twins’ lineup in check, despite some early threats, and created a solid foundation for a historic game.Key Hits and Perfect Timing
Offensively, we may have waited until the 3rd inning to strike, but boy, was it worth the wait! Kyle Isbel got us rolling with a single, and it was Maikel Garcia who brought him home with a double to right, giving us a crucial 1-0 lead. The excitement didn't end there, though. In the 9th, Adam Frazier, who pinch-hit for Tyler Tolbert, made his presence felt with a clutch single. This set the stage for Jonathan India to bring him home with a power-packed single, doubling our lead to 2-0. Go Royals!
Sealing the Deal
Our relief pitchers took the mound and showcased their resilience and skill, none more so than Carlos Estévez, who closed out the 9th inning in style.

Royals fans, we’ve got to be proud of how hard our team played today. Let's keep cheering them on as they continue their fight in the season. Onward to another victory!
