I’m not sure if anybody actually watched it, because all of Kansas City was too busy witnessing the Chiefs’ collapse in Indianapolis, but the best game of the baseball season was played on Sunday afternoon in Kansas City.
The Royals beat the Mariners, 13-12, in the highest-scoring game at Kauffman Stadium in several years. Down 11-2 entering the sixth inning, Kansas City put up an 11-spot in the sixth inning, taking the lead for good.
Oh, and with their 63rd win of the year, the Royals guaranteed that they would not lose 100 games this year. POP THE CHAMPAGNE!
