Blowout!


On Friday night, the Kansas City Royals secured a second win in Game 3, which broke the 1-1 tie placing the Royals in the lead. Kansas City Royals Manager Ned Yost grabbed the wheel and took the keys in the sixth inning.
In the Royals’ harrowing, 3-2 victory over the San Francisco Giants, Yost coaxed all 12 outs he needed from his bullpen in head-scratching, mind-bending, game-winning fashion. He rooted for his own hitter to make an out. He allowed a reliever to hit with a man on base in the seventh inning. He let a right-handed pitcher face a left-handed batter while a left-handed pitcher warmed up. He asked for a rookie who plied his trade this spring at Texas Christian University to record the night’s biggest outs. The decisions led ultimately to the Royals taking a 2-1 lead in the 110th World Series.
