Witt homers to help the Royals beat the Diamondbacks 5-2

Kansas City Royals' Bobby Witt Jr. contributed to the team's 5-2 victory over the Arizona Diamondbacks on Wednesday night, hitting a three-run homer in the fifth inning. The game was postponed by 50 minutes due to rain before it commenced.

Witt's blast ended the Diamondbacks' four-game winning streak, putting them a half-game behind San Diego for the third wild card spot in the National League. The loss broke the Diamondbacks' four-game winning streak.

Daniel Lynch, the Royals' starting pitcher, secured the win with a 5-4 performance, allowing two runs on four hits over five innings. Nate Pearson secured his fourth save of the season, while Michael Soroka took the loss for the Diamondbacks, allowing three runs in four innings.

The Royals secured the victory despite an unearned run scored in the second inning. John Rave and Kyle Isbel contributed with singles, with Rave stealing third base and scoring from catcher James McCann's errant throw.

This victory marked the third consecutive series in which the Royals won the final game to avoid a sweep. Daniel Lynch earned his first win since moving into the starting rotation in early August.

Nolan Arenado of the Diamondbacks answered with a solo homer leading off the fourth inning, putting the Diamondbacks ahead 2-1. Ketel Marte then tied the game with a two-out RBI single in the third inning.

Bobby Witt Jr.'s three-run homer proved the deciding factor, putting the Royals back in the lead and sealing their 5-2 win. The team will face the Texas Rangers on Friday, with no starter announced yet. The Royals are set to travel to Boston on Friday to take on the Red Sox.
