Witt caps Royals’ rally in the ninth with the winning hit in a 4-3 victory over the Athletics

Kansas City Royals secured a 4-3 victory over the Athletics on Tuesday night, with Bobby Witt Jr. delivering the game-winning hit in the ninth inning. After pinch-hitter Tyler Tolbert hit a two-run single, tying the score, Witt Jr. drove in the winning run with a two-out single. The Royals loaded the bases in the ninth after a catcher's interference call, a single, and a walk.

Tolbert's single into left field tied the game, and Elvis Alvarado replaced the injured Hogan Harris, getting Isaac Collins to line out. Witt Jr. then blooped a single into left, resulting in the Royals' sixth walk-off win of the season.
