Bobby Witt Jr., Vinnie Pasquantino and Salvador Perez carried the Royals back to the postseason for the first time in a decade, a whirlwind turnaround from 106-loss loser to a club playing for a spot in the American League Championship Series.

Witt, Pasquantino and Perez were a combined 6 for 49 in their AL Division Series, repeatedly coming up short when the Royals desperately needed a big hit. That was especially evident in Game 4 on Thursday night, when Perez’s popout ended their only rally in the sixth inning, and Pasquantino and Perez struck out in the ninth as the Yankees finished off their 3-1 victory.
Witt went 1 for 4 on Thursday night, his lone hit turning into the Royals’ only run on Pasquantino’s double in the sixth. But the biggest rival to the Yankees’ Aaron Judge for AL MVP, Witt still finished just 2 for 17 at the plate in the series, after he had driven both of the decisive runs in the Royals’ two-game sweep of Baltimore in the wild-card round.
