The Kansas City Royals offense came alive in their 8-2 win over the Tampa Bay Rays on Thursday; they scored their magic number of runs two times in one game! The Royals didn’t hit that particularly well with runners in scoring position either. They went 4-19 with RISP and had 13 LOB. They just gave themselves so many chances to score, they were bound to drive a few of the runs in, and they kept the pressure on the Rays all day.
One of the at-bats in the sixth inning that kept the rally going was from Jonathan India, and is a perfect illustration of what I’ve come to really appreciate about India.
