Maikel Garcia hit two of Kansas City's franchise-record seven homers as the Royals defeated the hosts Baltimore Orioles 11-6 on Sunday in the rubber game of a three-game series.

Royals star Bobby Witt Jr's tie-breaking home run came in the seventh inning and was immediately followed by Vinnie Pasquantino's blast. Jonathan India, Luke Maile — in his Kansas City debut — and Michael Massey also homered for the Royals, who entered the day last in the major leagues with 18 homers in 34 games.
Garcia and Pasquantino each collected three hits for the Royals, who have won 11 of their last 13 games.
Jackson Holliday had his first career multi-homer game with two blasts and Cedric Mullins and Ryan O’Hearn also went deep for Baltimore.
Byron Buxton homered and Ryan Jeffers added two hits and two RBIs to help visiting Minnesota defeat Boston 5-4.
Buxton hit his seventh home run of the season on the game's first pitch, and Jeffers had a two-run single with two outs in the seventh that erased a 3-1 deficit.
