The Kansas City Royals defeat the Philadelphia Phillies 5-2 on Sunday, snapping a four-game losing streak. Salvador Perez leads the offense by driving in two runs, highlighted by a two-run double in the eighth inning that scores Bobby Witt Jr. and Thomas. Kansas City’s pitching limits Philadelphia’s scoring through the middle innings, with Luinder Avile starting the game and working five innings while allowing one run. After Avile’s outing, Alex Lange pitches the ninth inning to earn his eighth save, sealing the win for the Royals. The final score reflects Kansas City’s run production late in the game and Philadelphia’s inability to add significant offense after the early totals. The victory gives the Royals their first win after four straight losses.
