Royals Triumph Over Diamondbacks in Dramatic Victory
Bobby Witt Jr. shined on Monday night as the Kansas City Royals downed the Arizona Diamondbacks, 10-4, securing their fourth consecutive win. Witt, nearing an elusive cycle, tripled in the first, doubled in the third, and launched a three-run homer in the fourth. Anticipation filled the stadium in the sixth, but Witt was hit by a pitch from Humberto Castellanos, sparking tensions and fervent support from fans and teammates alike.
Salvador Perez and Hunter Renfroe also contributed with homeruns, propelling the Royals to a decisive lead. The game saw emotional moments, including Perez’s heated exchange following Witt’s plunking. Arizona’s manager Torey Lovullo was ejected in the seventh after arguing with umpire Jordan Baker, adding to the evening’s drama. Witt’s performance included praise from peers and continued his hot streak since the All-Star Game.
Cole Ragans notched another strong outing, with six innings of solid pitching, overcoming a shaky third inning where Arizona momentarily led. The Royals, bolstered by Witt and Perez’s heroics, now mirror last season’s win total and push for a wild-card playoff spot.
