Bobby Witt Jr. homered and drove in three runs to lead the Kansas City Royals past the visiting Minnesota Twins 10-7 on Saturday night.
In his first at-bat, Witt picked up where he left off following Friday's walk-off grand slam. He hit his 18th homer in his first at-bat. Two pitches after he ducked away from a fastball that was inches from his head, Witt pounded Bailey Ober's slider into the left field bullpen for a 1-0 lead.
Kyle Isbel's two-run single to left gave Kansas City a 6-0 lead in the third. Isbel had a career-high four hits as the Royals collected a season-high 18.The Twins cut the deficit to 6-3 in the fourth against Jordan Lyles on the first of Byron Buxton's three doubles. Max Kepler led off the sixth with his 15th homer and Christian Vazquez added an RBI single, but the rally fell short as Massey made a diving stop to turn Carlos Correa's sharp bases-loaded grounder into an inning-ending double play.
