Even short-handed, the Royals found a way to win Saturday
Four batters into the game, the Royals roster got thinner. Eric Hosmer was ejected for arguing a third strike on a check swing, and manager Ned Yost quickly followed.
But the Royals weren’t deterred. In a 5-2 victory Saturday. They won their second straight in comeback fashion and improved to 4-4 on the road trip and 21-27 on the season.
The big inning was the sixth and turned on the plate appearances of two players who had been scuffling, Alex Gordon and Alcides Escobar.
Trailing 2-1, the Royals’ rally started with Jorge Bonifacio’s one-out double.
