Witt Powers Royals to Sweep | Oakland Athletics News

Bobby Witt Jr. crushed three homers and drove in runs as the Royals steamrolled the Athletics 6-2, securing their first four-game sweep of the season and extending their win streak to five. The A’s are reeling, losers in 17 of their last 21 games. Connor Thomas earned his first MLB win with scoreless relief, while Gage Jump took the loss after surrendering five runs in four innings. Randy Dobnak held strong through four innings despite walking ten batters. Witt’s 16th homer gave KC an early lead, but Maikel Garcia exited in the first with a hamstring injury after returning from a hand strain. Isaac Collins’ bases-loaded single in the third and two more runs in the fifth sealed it — the A’s got two back in the fifth, but the Royals answered right back.
