Kansas City Royals key player Bobby Witt Jr. has terminated his contract that worth $93.171 million…
Bobby Witt Jr. homered twice as the Kansas City Royals beat the Detroit Tigers 10-3 for their fifth straight win on Tuesday night.
Maikel Garcia led off the first inning with a triple and scored on Witt’s infield hit. Witt then stole second base and scored when Salvador Perez hit a single to right field.
After Kyle Isbel and Garcia singled in the second inning, Witt hit Casey Mize’s splitter 468 feet into the upper deck fountains, the longest of his career.
“I didn’t really watch it,” Witt said. “I just kind of hit it and started running, but yeah, it felt good.”
“That’s probably one of the longest balls I’ve ever seen hit,” said Royals starting pitcher Alec Marsh. “Unbelievable. He’s a generational talent. You think you’d get used to it being around him every day, and then he does something new that you haven’t seen and it’s just ‘wow.’ The wow factor is unbelievable.”
Mize (1-3) gave up six runs on nine hits with two strikeouts in 1 2/3 innings, the shortest outing of his career.
