KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The man treats moments like they are his stage, and his stage alone: Two on, two out, a baseball game on the line? The Kansas City Royals could do worse than turn to Kendrys Morales.
In the final at-bat of a 4-3 victory in 10 innings over the Angels, Morales did what he has done more than any other Royal this season: He drove in a run. It took a single to left field off Los Angeles reliever Trevor Gott. As the ball settled into the grass, Ben Zobrist raced home from second to complete a stirring comeback.
