"'I Gotta Do My Part': Werther Jr. Turns Into a Goodbye Hero in the Grotesque Ninth Game"

This is the most bizarre resourcefulness. But the Royals watched ecstatically as Lady Luck smiled at them.

In the bottom half of the ninth inning on Tuesday night, Drew Waters, who trailed by one point, struck the ball high at White Sox second baseman Chase Meidroth, what should have been an ordinary high flyer.

But Tuesday was destined to be extraordinary.

The baseball grazed Medrot's glove, then hit him in the head before rolling into the right field. Michael S. Michael A. Taylor picked up the ball and made a blast to second base, and Mark Canha made a thrilling slide. Waters safely reached first base, and the entire royal rest area was bursting with energy.

Ten minutes later, when Bobby Witt Jr. Hitting the ball deep into the outfield, the Royals scored a 4-3 bye hit at Koopman Stadium to turn on carnival mode.

The victory gave Kansas City a four-game winning streak and an astonishing record of 13 wins in the last 15 games.

"In the big leagues, a win is a win," said Royal captain Salvador Perez.

The most classic image of this game is Medrot's stunned expression after his mistake. Of course, the footage of Maikel Garcia jumping happily in the lounge area is also worth cherishing. But the Royals were able to make a comeback, and there were many key events before and after this bizarre mistake, and everything came unexpectedly.

Kanha, who played on the court, faced left pitcher Cam Booser and patiently picked four bad balls to open the ninth inning.

"If you get an outs and no one on base, the whole situation will be very different," coach Matt Quatraro analyzed, "but once someone gets on base, the balance of victory starts to tilt." "

"When Mark was drafted, I knew the win was in sight," Jonathan India added, "and in the state we are at right now – the whole team is full of confidence. "

Freddy Fermin then hit a hit, his second successful strike of the game. When Kyle Isbel hit a throw-in from third base and was safely picked up by Josh Rojas, the White Sox seemed to regain the initiative.

However, India, who had previously made a mistake in the sixth inning, led the opponent to lead the score, and a strong midfield hit equalized the score. Had it not been for Jacob Amaya, a god-level save near second base, the hit would have ended the game outright.

"I knew there was an empty defense in the middle because they were in a position to defend me," Indian lamented, "and I couldn't believe he could get that ball." "

When it was Werther's turn to strike two outs, everyone was waiting for a fateful ending.

"When Bobby is in the strike zone, you know it's over," said Isbell, who hit a home run in six innings.

Werther sends a high angle speedball from Bucer deep into the middle of the field, and Luis Robert Jr. A symbolic chase of a few steps before giving up – a deep hit was enough to end the game with or without a catch.

"My team-mates have done their job and I have to do my part," Witt admits, "just lock up the ball and hit it into the air and send my team-mate back." "

"This kind of game teaches you to fight until the last moment. Focus on the moment with every blow, just like we did tonight. One baton after another, passed down from generation to generation. "

This game is more of a reflection of the collapse of the White Sox (10-26) in the ninth inning. But strong teams can always find a way to win, and the Royals, who are currently 21-16, are interpreting victory baseball.

'We go on every day to get it,' said Witt, 'and that's our belief, our attitude. "

They overcame the dilemma of being suppressed by White Sox starter Sean Burke. Starting pitcher Seth Lugo admitted that he "didn't feel good about the ball tonight", but still conceded only 2 points (1 self-blame point) in 6.2 innings.

The Royals kept their fingers on the scoreline and waited for a turnaround. No one expected the turning point to be a baseball kissing Medrot's head, but they instantly seized the gift of fate.

"Getting the ball in the field was the biggest contribution," Quiatralo concluded, "and Burke was very little on the ball and controlled the pitch with ease. We kept hitting the ball in bounds, but we needed a crucial shot – and we did it in the end. "
