The Red Sox won their eighth game in a row in Thursday’s 15-1 victory over the Royals with some help from Danny Santana’s fourth-inning three-run homer, and the Royals broadcast couldn’t believe it.
When Santana made contact, Royals color announcer Rex Hudler reacted positively.
“There it is,” he said. “Good location.”
But Santana’s fly ball kept carrying and carrying, and finally flew over outfielder Jarrod Dyson’s head and into the Red Sox bullpen. Hunter Renfroe and Marwin Gonzalez scored as well.
As the ball left the park, Royals play-by-play announcer Ryan Lefebvre sounded calm, then startled.
