From the outset, the Royals showed determination and skill. They opened the scoring in the first inning with two runs on two hits, setting an early tone for what would become a closely contested game. Throughout, both teams displayed solid defensive efforts with no errors recorded on either side. However, it was in the eighth inning that Kansas City truly shone. Capitalizing on five hits during this crucial phase of play, they managed to secure three runs which ultimately sealed their victory.


The Royals' hitters were particularly effective throughout the game, achieving a batting average of .300 and an on-base percentage of .351. Their slugging percentage stood impressively at .533 thanks to contributions across the board including one home run and four doubles among their nine total hits. This offensive prowess was complemented by disciplined batting that saw them draw four walks while striking out only four times.

Brady Singer emerged as a pivotal figure for Kansas City from the mound, securing his third win of the season against one loss. His performance underscored a collective pitching effort that maintained control over Milwaukee's lineup for much of the game.


On Milwaukee's side, despite accumulating eight hits and pushing across four runs—including two in a ninth-inning rally—the Brewers could not overcome Kansas City's lead or capitalize fully on their opportunities with runners in scoring position.
