Bobby Witt Jr. is in a groove.
That includes his stellar night Saturday, another four-hit performance that propelled the Royals to a 10-7 win and series victory over the Twins at Kauffman Stadium. Witt became the eighth Royal (ninth instance) to have back-to-back four-hit games and the first since Nori Aoki in 2014. In the last two games, Witt is 8-for-10 with four runs, four extra-base hits and nine RBIs.
Witt’s performance sent the Royals to their first series win since beating the Dodgers at the beginning of July. On Sunday, Kansas City will look for its first sweep of the season -- and first three-game winning streak all year.
Witt hit an opposite-field single in the sixth and capped his 4-for-5 day with his seventh triple of the season, matching Shohei Ohtani and Ketel Marte for the most in the Majors.
The Royals are looking to finish this season strong, flashing as many improvements as they can to help soften the blow of another disappointing season -- but also looking toward 2024 and who can help take the step forward.
