Royals Top Cardinals in Extras, 5-4
In a close game at Busch Stadium, the Kansas City Royals edged the St. Louis Cardinals, 5-4. Kansas City shortstop Bobby Witt Jr. stood apart with his performance. He went 2 for 4 with a home run and a triple, while adding 4 RBI and scoring once. The winner was Nick Burdi in relief. His record improves to 4-3. Ryan Helsley took the loss. After today's action, Kansas City sits at 44-51; St. Louis slips to 52-42.

It could have been a different outcome for Kansas City, had it not been for Devin Mann, the 27-year old first baseman . Mann contributed a run-scoring hit-by-pitch in the top of the tenth inning to put Kansas City up, 5-4.

"It's a satisfying feeling, to win like we did," said Witt Jr..
