For the first time in their last ten home games, the Royals came out winners. Dating back to last season, the Royals had lost three games in a row, and their last nine games inside Kauffman Stadium.
Saturday wasn’t looking to good as they fell behind 3-1 through five innings. But Salvador Perez hit his second RBI single of the day to pull the Royals back within a run. After loading up the bases, MJ Melendez would end the 6th inning with a popout.
The bottom of the 7th is when the heroics came. Maikel Garcia led off the inning with a laser off the left field foul pole to tie the game up.
