Extra innings singles train powers Kansas City to 5-2 victory over St. Louis

For the second consecutive game the Kansas City Royals channeled their inner 2015, summoning impeccable late-game hitting and shutdown bullpen work to once again vanquish the evil St. Louis Cardinals. This afternoon’s contest ended with a 5-2 score in favor of Kansas City after the Royals scored a trio of runs in the 10th inning.

If you thought that Jake Junis would be the Royals’ best starting pitcher this year in your preseason predictions, congratulations: you are correct. Junis started off a bit wobbly against Cardinals. After a clean first inning a few Cardinals made good contact against Junis.
