The Boys in Blue set the tone early with Vinnie Pasquantino leading off strong. His consistent batting average of .400 from previous games continued to be an asset for K.C., contributing significantly to their offensive momentum. Bobby Witt Jr., another standout performer, maintained his remarkable form by hitting .800 and achieving an OPS of 2.0, demonstrating his ability to drive runs effectively.

Drew Waters also played a pivotal role in maintaining pressure on the South Siders’ defense with his .500 batting average and solid fielding performance. The Royals accumulated 17 hits throughout nine innings, showcasing their depth and versatility across their lineup.

Pitching Dominance

On the mound, Kris Bubic was instrumental in keeping Chicago's bats silent. With an ERA of 0.0 and WHIP of 1.0 from previous performances, Bubic continued his dominance by allowing only six hits over seven innings while striking out seven batters—an impressive feat that underscored his control and precision.

The bullpen further cemented this shutout victory as Steven Cruz took charge during relief appearances without conceding any runs or hits over two innings pitched. His strikeout rate was particularly noteworthy at nine per nine innings pitched (K9), reflecting his ability to close out games effectively for K.C.
