Royals offense explodes late for a 9-4 win in Los Angeles | Royals Review

The Royals used a late-inning surge to seal a 9-4 win in Los Angeles, taking the series behind a standout effort from Bobby Witt Jr. and key hits from Vinnie Pasquantino and Salvador Perez. Kansas City jumped early, endured a Angels’ rally, and then pulled away in the ninth with a decisive rally that capped their offensive night. The win strengthens KC’s offense as they wrap the season with a tough trip to Oakland looming.

Michael Lorenzen started strong for the Angels but Kansas City answered with timely hits and aggressive baserunning, including a review that ruled Pasquantino safe to extend a lead and a critical two-out double from Perez in the ninth. The Royals bullpen shut the door late, with Luinder Avila closing out the finale, keeping the offense rolling and the series in KC’s favor.

Fantasy angles rise from Witt Jr.’s multi-RBI night, Pasquantino’s clutch approaches, and Perez’s veteran late-game pop. Angels’ power came from Trout, but the series belonged to Kansas City’s offense and its late-inning execution, which should keep KC hitters on the radar as the calendar turns to the end of the season.

Which Royals players should fantasy managers prioritize after this series in LA?How does the Angels’ bullpen usage in late innings affect fantasy rostering of relief pitchers?How should fantasy players treat Salvador Perez's late-game power after this game?Which Royals hitters provide the best short-term fantasy value after this series?
