Royals Start Strong​

What a nail-biter of a game! The Kansas City Royals kick-started the action at Kauffman Stadium with a highlight play in the 2nd inning when Salvador Perez sent the ball flying for a solo homer over center field - a massive 444-foot blast! 💥 This initial lead got the energy surging through Royals fans, and even though we saw some outs, it set the stage for more action.

Middle Innings Drama​

In the 4th inning, Maikel Garcia doubled and today's hero, Jac Caglianone, followed up with yet another incredible bomb to center field, scoring two and extending our lead to 3-0. 💪 What a hit! As we moved into the 6th inning, the Pirates started clawing back, tying things up at 3-3 after a singular offensive push. But don't worry - we weren't done yet!

Victory Sealed by Perez​

Enter the 8th inning - tension was high, but Salvador Perez decided to put on a show one more time, hammering a 426-foot homer to re-establish our lead at 4-3. 🏆 The bullpen was solid down the stretch, with Estévez efficiently closing out the 9th. The final out came with Isiah Kiner-Falefa grounding into a fielder's choice. Game over, and victory celebrated!

It's been a thrilling game filled with powerful performances, and I couldn't be prouder to see the Royals secure that 4-3 win over the Pirates. Let's keep this momentum going! ⚾👏

Go Royals! 🎉
