g also underscored the back-and-forth nature of the Mets-Mariners series—a reminder that every spark matters when teams tread water in late-season races.

Bobby Witt Jr. joined an exclusive club and powered Kansas City to a 5-2 win over Texas, their fifth straight victory and a step closer to the AL wild-card race. Witt crushed a 449-foot homer in the eighth off Cole Winn, becoming the youngest Royals to reach 100 homers in his career at 25 years, 66 days. The moment underscores his role as the lineup anchor and a symbol of Kansas City’s late-season surge.

The milestone vaults Witt into elite company in MLB history: he’s among a small group of players with 100 homers and 100 steals through their first four seasons, a list that includes Julio Rodríguez. Witt’s season pace remains strong, batting .291 with 18 homers and 69 RBIs while already swiping 32 bases, showing a rare power-speed combination and a Gold Glove-caliber glove that fuels the Royals’ run at a playoff bid.

Kansas City’s skipper Matt Quatraro has leaned on Witt heavily, and teammates like Pasquantino have joined in with big nights to support the star. The Royals head into the Rangers series with momentum and a realistic shot at improving their wild-card odds, with Witt at the center of their plans and the rest of the lineup backing him as they chase a postseason berth.
