Bobby Witt Jr. Earns AL Player of the Week

Bobby Witt Jr. continued his impressive performance, recording three hits for the fourth consecutive game, leading the Kansas City Royals to a 10-4 victory over the Arizona Diamondbacks. Witt nearly hit for the cycle, achieving a triple and a double before hitting a three-run homer, his 18th of the season, which ties him with Salvador Perez for the team lead. His performance comes on the heels of being named the American League Player of the Week, where he hit .818 in a series against the White Sox. Cole Ragans secured the win for the Royals, allowing three runs over six innings. Witt's recent surge has placed him among the top home run-hitting shortstops in MLB history, moving him to 67 homers in his first three seasons. The Royals are now on a four-game winning streak as they continue to build momentum in the season.
