On August 10, I wrote that the Kansas City Royals bullpen was completely broken after Kelvin Herrera gave up a two run shot in the 10th to lose 7-5 to the White Sox. The following night, reliever Chien-Ming Wang gave up a run in the top of the 11th inning against Chicago in what looked like would be yet another bullpen failure.
Instead, the KC Royals scratched out the tying run in the bottom of the inning and won 3-2 in 14 innings.
Not only did the late-inning win continue KC’s “RallyMantis” momentum, that 11th inning run triggered their current 38.
