Top Performers from Royals

Such precision from the mound can significantly impact the game's outcome.


On the batting front, Jonathan India has shown promise with an average hitting performance highlighted by a .600 AVG in one of the previous games and maintaining a solid .350 AVG over his last three outings. His ability to get on base and drive in runs could be crucial for the Royals.
