NEW YORK
The top two in the Royals batting order continue pile up the playoff numbers and win postseason games.
Leadoff hitter Alcides Escobar and No. 2 hitter Ben Zobrist did what they do best in the batter’s box in the Royals’ 5-3 victory over the Mets in Game 4 of the World Series on Saturday.
That doesn’t always mean a base hit, although they both reached milestones.
Zobrist started the Royals’ game-winning really with a one-out walk against Mets’ relief pitcher Tyler Clippard.
The Royals trailed 3-2 at the time and were down to their final six outs.
