Royals Rally to Win
The Kansas City Royals faced a tough opponent in San Francisco pitcher Joe Ryan, but found a way to pull out the victory at Oriole Park at Camden Yards by a final score of 5-4 in 11 innings. Ryan went 6.1 innings and allowed 4 runs. Kansas City is off to a hot start at 3-1.

The game was at a stalemate until designated hitter Grant Koch came to bat in the top of the 11th. Facing San Francisco pitcher Kris Bubic, he hit a 1-2 changeup for a run-scoring single. It was a game-changer, putting Kansas City on top, 5-4.

"That was your kind of game, if you like high drama," said Royals manager Noah McKinnon.
