Bobby Witt Jr. came through when the Royals needed him in yesterday’s win:
“I mean, it’s easy to call it when it’s Bobby,” reliever Chris Stratton said.
After Witt’s homer gave Kansas City the lead back, Stratton picked up the save. He got the final two outs with runners on first and third in the ninth inning, and the Royals salvaged a disappointing series that saw them lose the first two games before avoiding the sweep.
The series finale — the Royals’ final game at the Coliseum with the A’s temporarily moving to Sacramento, Calif.
