KANSAS CITY, Mo.
With the World Series flag raised and championship rings distributed, the Royals resumed the everyday-ness of the baseball season on Friday with an encouraging result.
The Royals scored two in the eighth inning to regain the lead they had just lost and went on to a 4-3 victory over the Twins before 27,166 at Kauffman Stadium.
Trailing 3-2, the Royals opened the eighth inning with Alex Gordon’s single to right. Up stepped Salvador Perez. His sinking line drive bounced in front of diving left fielder Danny Santana. The ball skipped past Santana and rolled to the wall.
