Wed May 07 03:40:00 UTC 2025: **Royals Walk Off Against White Sox in Ninth-Inning Thriller**

KANSAS CITY, MO – Bobby Witt Jr. delivered a walk-off single in the bottom of the ninth inning, securing a dramatic 4-3 victory for the Kansas City Royals over the Chicago White Sox on Tuesday night. The win snapped a nine-game losing streak for the Royals at Kauffman Stadium against the White Sox, the longest such streak in franchise history for the White Sox in Kansas City.

The Royals rallied from a 3-1 deficit in the ninth. Mark Canha led off with a walk, followed by a bizarre play where Drew Waters’ popup hit second baseman Chase Meidroth’s head and fell into right field, allowing Canha to advance. Freddy Fermin’s bunt single loaded the bases. After a pop out, Jonathan India drove in the tying run with a fielder’s choice, setting the stage for Witt’s game-winning hit.

Taylor Clarke earned the win in relief for the Royals, while Cam Boozer took the loss for the White Sox. The White Sox had taken a 3-1 lead, with runs scored by Matt Thaiss (one on an error) and Josh Rojas. The Royals chipped away with a solo home run by Kyle Isbel and an RBI double by Salvador Perez.

The series continues Wednesday with Jonathan Cannon pitching for the White Sox and Michael Wacha for the Royals.
