The Kansas City Royals secured their fourth consecutive victory by defeating the Arizona Diamondbacks 10-4, highlighted by Bobby Witt Jr.'s impressive performance, which included a triple, a double, and a three-run homer. Witt fell just a single short of achieving a cycle, a feat last accomplished by George Brett in 1990, as he was hit by a pitch during a critical at-bat. He has been on a hot streak, hitting 12 for 15 since the All-Star Game, raising his batting average to .341 and earning the title of American League Player of the Week. The Royals are now 56-45 and in contention for a wild-card playoff berth, matching their win total from last season. Cole Ragans pitched effectively for six innings, allowing three runs while achieving his eighth quality start in nine outings. The Diamondbacks, despite a strong start with Ketel Marte's two-run homer, could not maintain their lead as the Royals rallied back with a series of hits and home runs.
