In their last outing against the Milwaukee Brewers, the Royals showcased a blend of strategic hitting and impenetrable defense, cruising to a 12-2 victory. The team's batting average stood at an impressive .341, complemented by a slugging percentage of .561.

Despite securing a narrow 1-0 win, it was their ability to capitalize on crucial moments that stood out. The pitching staff shone brightly, maintaining a commendable ERA of 0.0 across both bullpen and starters, highlighting their capability to stifle opposition attacks effectively.


However, it was in their showdown with Great Britain where the Royals' offensive machinery truly came alive. An 8-1 victory underscored by eight runs from nine hits demonstrated their ability not only to create scoring opportunities but also to convert them efficiently.
