The Kansas City Royals are playing a multilevel series against the New York Yankees: not only are the Royals trying to clinch a playoff spot, but Bobby Witt Jr. is vying for the American League MVP against Aaron Judge. It was not a great evening on either account: the Yankees notched a win against the Royals 10-4, and Judge went 2-4 with a walk while Witt only went 1-4.
The game started off very well. Brady Singer cruised for three innings while the Royals scored a run in the first and third innings, both off the bat of The Captain.
