This win not only completed a three-game sweep but also extended their winning streak to an impressive seven games.

Vinnie Pasquantino, who had been struggling at the plate recently, made a remarkable turnaround in Wednesday’s game. He went 3-for-5 with three RBIs, significantly contributing to the Royals’ victory. This outstanding performance boosted his batting average to .222 and his RBI count to eight.
