Rodriguez served up Fermin's leadoff homer in the third and another to Perez, the 100th for the veteran catcher at Kauffman Stadium, moving him into a tie with Mike Sweeney and trailing only George Brett for the most in club history. Henderson followed with his two-run shot to give Baltimore its 8-1 lead. Then in the fifth, after Lyles once again got the first two outs, he walked Frazier and uncorked a wild pitch that led to Mateo's run-scoring single. In the third, Lyles loaded the bases on a single, walk and hit batter before Mullins cleared them with a double. Santander followed the error with his homer off Jordan Lyles over the right-field wall. Three Royals converged on it, but MJ Melendez, who has stopped catching so he can focus on playing the outfield, was unable to make the basket catch. The first came when Ryan Mountcastle hit a high two-out popup down the right-field line in the first inning. The Orioles jumped to their big early lead by capitalizing on mistakes. “Somebody has to take it,” Royals manager Matt Quatraro said of the back-and-forth game. He was undergoing an MRI exam after the game, adding injury to another insulting loss for the Royals. “This team has a lot of fight in it."įreddy Fermin hit his first career homer, Salvador Perez added a two-run shot and Kyle Isbel went deep for Kansas City before his tying bunt in the seventh inning, when he beat out the throw but strained his hamstring crossing the bag. “The offense did a great job, especially starting off the game,” said Orioles starter Grayson Rodriguez, who allowed six runs in 3 2/3 innings. Felix Bautista coughed up a run in the ninth before striking out Witt and Hunter Dozier to end the game with runners at second and third.
Yennier Cano (1-0) pitched two scoreless innings for Baltimore, one of the few solid outings by a reliever. Adam Frazier moved up on a balk and joined Jorge Mateo in stealing bases before Urias hit a single through the left side of a drawn-in infield to give the Orioles the lead again. The Royals fought back and pulled ahead on Bobby Witt Jr.'s single in the seventh, but Aroldis Chapman (1-2) promptly walked the first two batters in the eighth. That includes Gunnar Henderson and Anthony Santander, who hit homers, and Cedric Mullins, who had a bases-loaded double that helped the Orioles run out to an 8-1 lead by the bottom of the third inning. “Every guy is involved with what we're doing.” We fight every game” said Urias, who entered as a pinch hitter.

But once more embodying poise under pressure, Ramon Urias hit a go-ahead, two-run single in the eighth inning and added a two-run double in the ninth, allowing Baltimore to escape with a 13-10 victory and its seventh straight series win. The Orioles raced to a seven-run lead before watching the Royals wipe it out, then pull ahead in the seventh inning.
