The left side of the infield is fueling Kansas City's recent offensive surge:
Leadoff hitter Maikel Garcia extended his Royals rookie hit streak record to 17 games with a 2-for-5 night and came through in the clutch with two outs in the fifth inning with an RBI single that loaded the bases for Witt.
“Every time I’m up now, there’s a runner on base,” Witt said. “Doing what he’s doing, it’s great. He’s going to continue to do that because he’s learning and getting better every day like we all are.”
Then Witt drove a low fastball from Emerson Hancock to the fountains for his second career grand slam.
