The Kansas City Royals need everything they can get if they want to go back to the playoffs – Fortunately, they have Bobby Witt Jr.
Witt Jr. does not set up the same figures he made last season which obtained a second place in the vote of the MVP of Al (behind only the judge of Aaron), but his capacity for athletics and population is still there.
At the top of the seventh, tied up to the Seattle Mariners, Vinnie Pasquantino was flat with Jonathan India on Third and Witt Jr. in second position.

Witt is one of the fastest people in the league, so a base in any likelihood was going to be a two -point lead. However, it did not come as easily as expected. Pasquantino found a hole beyond the right side of the inner field which played – which certainly helped the Royals in this case. And Witt Jr. was obviously in motion.
The throw, however, beat Witt Jr., but a label has never been made.
This is because Witt avoided him by sliding outside, and beyond the plate, then distorting his whole body to withdraw behind him with his right hand.

Lucas Erceg and Taylor Clarke obtained two withdrawals each, and Carlos Estévez launched 1 1/3 of sleeves to obtain his 24th stop. Estévez abandoned a head circuit to Dominic Canzone in the ninth and had runners the second and third after a wild launch with a withdrawal, but withdrew Julio Rodríguez and made Raleigh pass to finish the match.
Witt Jr. has now hit safely in his last 23 games on the road, broke the Kansas City record, 42 years old by Hal McRae.
Kansas City (41-47) is now 13.0 games from Detroit Tigers, which take place in the central of Al, for the head of the division.

However, with Witt Jr. short, there will always be a chance.
