The Kansas City Royals know a thing or two about come-from-behind victories, but Francisco Lindor and the Indians turned the tables on the Royals on Thursday night, plating two runs in the bottom of ninth for a stunning 5-4 walk off victory.
Most impressively, the Royals entered the game with the best bullpen in the Major Leagues – by far.
KC’s bullpen ERA this season is 2.39, well ahead of runner-up Washington at 2.63. In their last 6-0 home stand, the resurgent Royal’s pen allowed just three runs in 18.2 innings for a 1.45 ERA.
