Loftin’s Bunt Saves Royals in Nail-Biter | Kansas City Royals News

The Royals pulled off a heart-pounding 4-3 win over the Padres, thanks to Nick Loftin’s clutch ninth-inning bunt that scored the game-winning run — saving the bullpen after Alex Lange blew the save with a two-run homer. Michael Wacha pitched six strong innings, and Salvador Perez hit his 316th homer, just one shy of George Brett’s franchise record. But the win came with a scare: Bobby Witt Jr. exited early with back tightness again. With a 41-60 record, the Royals look to keep momentum alive tonight against the Giants, with Luinder Avila on the mound.
