Whit Merrifield issued a plea following Tuesday night’s game, that Royals followers not give up on the team so early in the season, and on Wednesday night he came up in a drama-packed moment of the game and gave those followers something to cheer about.
Merrifield dropped down a bunt down the third base line for an RBI single with two outs to tie the score as Terrance Gore scored from third in the seventh inning.
