Royals Win with Late Rally
The Kansas City Royals outlasted the Seattle Mariners, 7-6, in 10 innings. Jackson Merrill played a key role, going 3-for-5 for Kansas City. Earning his 24th save of the year was Jhoan Duran. The Royals go to 41-47, putting them 4th in the American League Central Division.

Kansas City needed the clutch hitting of Jon Berti to seal the deal. The third baseman swatted a solo home run in the top of the tenth inning to put the Royals on top, 7-6. For the game, Berti had 1 home run and 1 single in 4 at-bats.

"It never gets old," said Berti. "Winning, that is."
