The Royals erupted for a season-high 11 runs in a wild back-and-forth contest against the Angels that resulted in an 11-8 win for Kansas City on Saturday night. Matt Duffy and Hunter Dozier each had three hits, and the team struck out just three times, their lowest total of the year.
The Royals were able to strike first and give Zack Greinke a lead in the third inning when Bobby Witt Jr. singled Hunter Dozier home. But Zack would give that lead right back in the bottom of the inning on an RBI single by Mike Trout. The Royals reclaimed the lead in the fourth on three consecutive extra base hits - a double by Salvador Perez, a double by Matt Duffy, and a triple by MJ Melendez to make it 3-1 Royals.
