Kansas City’s Nick Loftin delivers the decisive play in the ninth inning as the Royals beat the San Francisco Giants 4–3 on Monday night. With one out in the bottom of the ninth, Loftin executes a squeeze bunt that scores Josh Rojas, who had reached earlier in the inning. Rojas starts the frame with a single. He advances to second on a sacrifice bunt by Tyler Tolbert, then moves to third on a Carter Jensen lineout. That setup allows Loftin’s bunt to bring Rojas home for the go-ahead run, and Kansas City holds on for the one-run victory. The reports from both outlets describe the same sequence of events leading to the winning run, with emphasis on the late-inning situational hitting by Loftin and the preceding baserunning plays that put Rojas in position to score.
