In another encounter against the Royals, despite scoring six runs and achieving ten hits with an improved batting average (.270), defensive errors and late-game pitching vulnerabilities led to an 8-6 defeat. This game underscored both strengths in hitting but also highlighted critical moments where better execution could have changed outcomes.
