Bobby Witt Jr. had a pair of hits, including the game-winning double, to go with a dazzling defensive play in a 3-2 win over the Tigers on Sunday afternoon.
The Royals had a runner in scoring position in each of the first three frames but couldn’t cash any in for a run against Tigers starter Matt Manning. They finally broke through in the fourth with a pair of runs with a Nicky Lopez single with the bases loaded, followed by a bases-loaded walk to MJ Melendez to force home a run.
Max Castillo pitched well, but he gave the lead right back up in the bottom of the inning.
