Witt Jr. Lights Up Royals Win | MLB News

Bobby Witt Jr. lit up the scoreboard Monday night, smashing a two-run homer, driving in another with a double, and scoring four times to lead the Royals to a 9-5 rout of the Athletics. After the A’s took an early lead on the first pitch, Kansas City stormed back with timely hits from Garcia, Perez, and Caglinone — who added two RBI singles — to build a commanding 3-1 edge. Wacha earned the win in five innings, while Cruz locked down his fourth save despite a late bases-loaded jam. The A’s got homers from White and Serven in the fifth, but couldn’t keep up.
