Royals Sweep Orioles in AL Wild Card Series Thanks to Bobby Witt Jr.’s Big Hit


The Kansas City Royals defeated the Baltimore Orioles 2-1 in Game 2 of their Wild Card Series, advancing to the AL Division Series. Bobby Witt Jr. had the go-ahead RBI single in the sixth inning, securing the victory for the Royals. Witt also had the decisive hit in Game 1 with an RBI single. The Orioles have now lost their last 10 postseason games and were swept for the second year in a row. The Royals, who had a 30-win improvement from last season, will face the New York Yankees in the ALDS.

Michael Massey credited the addition of experienced veterans to the team for their success, with players like Tommy Pham, Yuli Gurriel, Michael Wacha, and Will Smith providing leadership and playoff experience. Manager Matt Quatraro made strategic bullpen moves to secure the win, and the pitching staff delivered strong performances.

The Orioles struggled with runners in scoring position and face uncertainties in the offseason, including the future of manager Brandon Hyde and the status of pending free-agent starter Corbin Burnes. Colton Cowser left the game with a hand injury after being hit by a pitch. The Royals will now prepare to face Gerrit Cole and the Yankees in the ALDS, with their pitchers rested and ready for the challenge.
