The Royals hit four home runs, scored a walk-off hit by Whit Merrifield, and salvaged the last game of a three-game set against the Yankees. The final score was 8-7. A bunch of Johnson County New York fans who have never been to New York went home sad. It was great.
The Yankees jumped to a quick 1-0 lead, but Martin Maldonado hit a three-run homer in the second inning to give the Royals the lead for good. It was his second homer of the year, and it doubled his RBI on the season, which is hilarious.
With the homer, the Royals hit the double-digit RBI mark from catchers in game #53.
