CHICAGO (AP) — The Kansas City Royals could be headed for a hangover.
Manager Mike Matheny hopes so, anyway.
Michael A. Taylor scored when Garrett Crochet misplayed Andrew Benintendi’s bunt in the 10th inning, sending the Royals to a wild 4-3 victory over the Chicago White Sox on Sunday.
“That’s the kind of win … that you hope kind of have a hangover effect,” Matheny said. “You have some that can negatively have that hangover, and this is going to be one of those with the positive.”
Taylor opened the 10th on second base and advanced on Nicky Lopez’s sacrifice. After Whit Merrifield was walked intentionally, Benintendi bunted the ball right back to the mound.
