The Royals started strong with two runs in the first inning and solidified their lead with four more runs in the fourth inning. Despite committing no errors throughout the game, they continued to build on their lead with another two runs in the eighth inning. On the other hand, despite a valiant effort, including scoring three runs in the first inning and one run in the eighth inning, it wasn't enough for The Angels who also committed two errors during play.


Key performances from The Royals included Robert Witt Jr., who had an outstanding batting average of .667 and an on-base percentage (OBP) of .667. Angelo Castellano also made significant contributions with a perfect batting average of 1.000 and an OBP of 1.0. Freddy Fermin demonstrated his hitting capabilities by securing a .500 batting average along with scoring one run from just two at-bats.


On The Angels' side, despite facing tough opposition from The Royals' pitchers who collectively held an earned run average (ERA) of 4.0 across nine innings pitched while striking out thirteen batters, they managed to secure six hits but struggled against The Royals' defense which did not commit any errors throughout nine innings.


Looking ahead, The Kansas City Royals are set for another challenge as they face off against Athletics at Hohokam Stadium on March 3rd at 3:05 PM EDT. Fans eager not to miss any action can catch this upcoming game live through NBC Sports App.
