Witt Jr. Homers to Seal Royals Win | Arizona Diamondbacks News

Bobby Witt Jr. crushed a three-run homer in the fifth to seal a 5-2 win for the Royals over the Diamondbacks, snapping Arizona’s four-game winning streak and keeping them a half-game behind in the wild card race. The game delayed by rain became a pivotal moment as Kansas City avoided a sweep for the third straight series — with Daniel Lynch earning his first win since returning to the rotation and Nate Pearson locking it down for his fourth save. The Royals took an early lead on an unearned run, then held off a late Arizona rally led by Arenado and Marte before Witt Jr.’s monster blast put them ahead for good.
