Royals Rally for 10-7 Win Over Cardinals

The Kansas City Royals staged a remarkable comeback to defeat the St. Louis Cardinals 10-7 at Busch Stadium, overcoming a five-run deficit with a six-run fifth inning rally. Bobby Witt Jr. led the Royals offensively, hitting a two-run homer and driving in four runs, while Nick Loftin contributed his first home run of the year, sparking the rally. The Royals promoted top prospect Jac Caglianone, who made his major league debut but went hitless in five at-bats, though his presence was seen as a morale boost for the team. Cardinals starter Andre Pallante struggled after a strong start, allowing seven runs in 4 1/3 innings, and Michael Lorenzen was charged with seven runs early on before leaving the game. The Royals' bullpen, led by Steven Cruz and Carlos Estévez, shut down the Cardinals after the fifth inning, securing the win. This victory comes as the Royals seek to build momentum with their new-look batting order, featuring Caglianone in the middle, while rookie pitcher Noah Cameron is set to start the next game.
