In a fiery game, Bobby Witt Jr. nearly hit for the cycle, but was hit by a pitch. Salvador Perez and Hunter Renfroe also homered as the Kansas City Royals won 10-4 against the Arizona Diamondbacks. Tensions rose after the hit by pitch, leading to ejections and drama between the teams.
Witt, who had a standout performance, was supported by his teammates and the home crowd. He narrowly missed becoming the first Royals player to hit for the cycle in 34 years. Witt's success added to his impressive post-All-Star Game streak and helped the Royals secure a wild-card playoff spot.
