Bobby Witt Jr. Leads Royals to ALDS

Bobby Witt Jr. propelled the Kansas City Royals into the AL Division Series with a pivotal infield single, securing a 2-1 victory over the Baltimore Orioles in a Wild Card series sweep. Witt's speed and skill were instrumental, as he beat the throw to first base, allowing the go-ahead run to score, marking his second consecutive game-winning RBI. The Royals, who endured a tough season last year, have shown remarkable improvement, benefiting from the leadership of experienced veterans and the young star Witt, who led the majors in batting average and hits. The team will face the New York Yankees next, continuing their unexpected postseason run. This marks the Royals' return to playoffs for the first time since their 2015 World Series win, with Witt emerging as a key figure in their resurgence. Baltimore, on the other hand, has now lost ten straight postseason games, highlighting their ongoing playoff struggles.
